POTATO AND CHEESE FLAUTAS
This is one of my family's favorite dinners and I can't blame them. These potato flautas are so crunchy and delicious! I often make these in larger quantities for parties and gatherings and they are always the first thing to go. Be creative with your garnishes and enjoy! I garnish with shredded lettuce, crumbled queso fresco cheese, salsa or guacamole, Mexican crema or sour cream, and sliced avocado.

Steps:
- Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.
- Mash potatoes with milk and salt. Stir in Add Chihuahua cheese.
- Heat 1/2 inch oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
- Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in a dish towel or paper towel and microwave on high power for 2 minutes. If you don't steam them, they will crack when you roll them.
- Fill each tortilla with a spoonful of the mashed potato mixture, roll tightly, and secure with a toothpick.
- When oil is hot enough to make the flautas sizzle, put 6 to 8 flautas in the oil; make sure there is room between them or they won't cook evenly. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. If the oil doesn't completely cover the flautas, flip over and fry the other sides. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
