Loaded Potato Quesadillas #5FIX image

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.
