Loaded Potato Quesadillas #5FIX

"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."

  1. These were easy to make and tasted great. A great idea for using leftover mashed potatoes. Next time I'm going to use pepper bacon to add a little spice.
