Potato Taquitos are a popular Mexican dish that can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or main course. They are made with corn tortillas filled with various ingredients such as shredded meat, cheese, beans, or potatoes like in this recipe. Traditionally, they are deep-fried and served with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. This recipe is an easy alternative to deep-frying since the taquitos are baked in the oven after being quickly fried in oil on the stove. They are flavorful, crispy, and satisfying and can be customized with various toppings to suit your taste.

2.	In a large skillet, cook the Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes with Onion in 2 tablespoons of canola oil over medium heat for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and cooked through.
3.	Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the granulated garlic and chopped parsley.
4.	In another skillet, heat 1 cup of canola oil over medium-high heat.
5.	Working with one tortilla at a time, spoon about 2 tablespoons of potato mixture onto the center of each tortilla and roll the tortilla tightly around the filling.
6.	Place the taquitos seam-side down in the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes per side or until golden and crispy.
7.	Transfer the taquitos to a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until heated through.
