I had something like this at a restaurant last night and had to try duplicating it at home. This potato quesadilla reminds me of a pierogi. I think this recipe can 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.
Ingredients
- potatoes: 2 cups (mashed)
- slices cooked bacon, crumbled: 6 piece
- green onions: 0.25 cup (sliced)
- flour tortillas: 8 piece
- cheddar cheese: 2 cups (shredded)
- butter: 2 Tbsp (softened)
- salsa: 1 cup
- sour cream: 0.25 cup

Place a quesadilla into the preheated pan; cook until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining quesadillas. Serve with salsa and sour cream.
