Potato Quesadillas image

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
