1
Thaw the frozen mashed potatoes according to the package instructions.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed mashed potatoes, salt, unsalted butter, minced garlic, and paprika.
3
Mix until well combined and the potatoes have a smooth consistency.
4
Stir in the shredded queso Oaxaca.
5
Heat corn tortillas on a hot griddle until soft and pliable to prevent cracking.
6
Lay a tortilla flat and fill half with about 1 tablespoon of the mashed potato mixture.
7
Fold the tortilla in half and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
8
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan until very hot.
9
Test the oil by dipping an edge of a tortilla in the oil; if it sizzles, it's ready for frying the tacos.
10
Using tongs, carefully place 3 or 4 tacos into the hot oil. Cover with a splatter screen to avoid oil splattering, if available.
11
Fry the tacos for about 2 minutes, until the tortilla looks crunchy. Turn over and fry the other side.
12
Remove the tacos from the oil and place on a paper-towel lined plate to drain.
13
Continue frying the rest of the tacos.
14
Serve tacos with shredded iceberg lettuce, shredded cheese, and salsa of choice on top.
