MASHED POTATO QUESADILLA
I had something like this at a restaurant last night and I had to try to duplicate it at home! It reminds me of a perogies! I think that this recipe can really be played up with just about anything you like with potatoes! This can be a super fast meal if you use the heat and serve bacon and premade mashed potatoes!

POTATO QUESADILLAS
I made potato-rolled tacos all the time and wanted to switch it up, so I started making quesadillas out of my original recipe. I serve the creamy, crispy potato quesadillas with salsa and sour cream. For an extra surprise, serve homemade guacamole, too. -Marina Castle-Kelley, Canyon Country, California

POTATO & CHEDDAR QUESADILLA
Here's my favorite way to use up left-over mashed potatoes. If your mashed potatoes are flavored with garlic, onions, etc. it's all the better. Measurements are approximate since I usually throw this together to use up leftovers in the fridge. If my potatoes are plain, I have been known to add a little chicken bouillon to give them more flavor. Serving size may vary- my two year-old DD and I share one of these for lunch. This definitely is not a "diet" meal, but, it's delicious!

ROASTED VEGGIE QUESADILLAS
I am always looking for recipes that will encourage children to eat vegetables and this one has been a huge success. You can also use other vegetables, such as mushrooms, eggplant, asparagus and broccoli. Just remember to roast your vegetables before making the quesadillas. -Kathy Carlan, Canton, Georgia

LOADED POTATO QUESADILLAS #5FIX
5-Ingredient Fix Contest Entry. This comforting concoction was created one evening when I was craving the pierogies my grandmom made for me when I was a child. The flour tortillas cook up crisp and flavorful, encasing the delicious mashed potato filling. I sprinkle these with coarse salt and top with a dollop of sour cream before serving.
