Follow The Directions

01

Step

Boil the Potato: Place the peeled potato in a saucepan, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender (approximately 20 minutes).

02

Step

Sauté Aromatics: While the potato boils, melt 1 teaspoon of plant-based butter in a skillet. Sauté the diced onion until soft and translucent (3-5 minutes). Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute). Set aside.

03

Step

Prepare the Filling: Drain the cooked potato and transfer it to a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of plant-based butter and almond milk. Season with salt and pepper. Mash until smooth. Mix in the sautéed onion and garlic until well combined.

04

Step

Assemble the Tacos: Heat the tortillas in a skillet or directly on the grates of a gas stove until soft and pliable. Place 3 tablespoons of the potato mixture down one side of each tortilla; fold over to create a taco shape.

05

Step

Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

06

Step

Air Fry Tacos: Place the tacos in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. Mist lightly with avocado oil cooking spray. Cook in batches if necessary.

07

Step

Cook to Perfection: Air fry until the tacos are golden brown and crispy (9-10 minutes). Turn the tacos over, mist with avocado oil, and air fry for an additional 4-5 minutes.

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chili powder to the potato mixture.
Serve with your favorite vegan toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions, Mexican hot tomato sauce, and vegan Cheddar shreds.
