Potatoes tend to get a bad rap, but they are extremely nutritious and can be an excellent addition to a balanced diet for littles. Potatoes are rich in vitamin C which helps boost immunity, potassium which is important for heart health, and when cooked and cooled they contain resistant starch which is beneficial for gut health because it acts as a prebiotic and helps feed the good bacteria in your gut.

Steps
Roughly chop the potatoes and boil them over medium-high heat until they are soft and easily pierced with a fork (about 15-20 mins)
While the potatoes are cooking chop the scallions thinly
Add the scallions to a pan and sautée them lightly (about 2-5 mins) with the garlic and touch of olive oil and set them aside
Once the potatoes have cooked, drain them and let them cool for about 5-10 mins
Lightly mash the potatoes and mix in the milk, olive oil, salt, scallion & garlic mixture, and pepper to taste
Mash until everything is well combined (you can also use a hand mixer if you have one for more ease)
Once mashed, set the potatoes aside and warm 3 tortillas in a paper towel in the microwave for about 20 secs to make them more pliable
Place a spoon full of potatoes across the center of each tortilla and roll
Place the rolled taquitos seam side down on a baking sheet, dust the tops of the taquitos lightly with oil or spray and bake at 400 for about 15-20 mins
Remove from the oven, let cool, top with you favorite toppings (salsa, cheese, sour cream, or guac) and enjoy!
