1

Boil 1 kilogram of potatoes in salted water until tender, then drain and let cool slightly.

2

Peel the potatoes and mash them using a glass or a similar object.

3

Add mozzarella and manchego cheese to the mashed potatoes, mixing well. If needed, add more salt and a pinch of black pepper.

4

Prepare a container with a napkin to hold the assembled quesadillas.

5

Take a tortilla, add the potato mixture, fold it over, and place it in the container. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

6

Once all quesadillas are assembled, set them aside while preparing a salsa.

7

Chop and disinfect lettuce for serving.

8

In a skillet, fry 4 serrano chiles and 2 árbol chiles until slightly cooked.

9

Prepare the salsa by blending the fried chiles with onion and salt without adding water.

10

Heat oil in a skillet for frying the quesadillas, ensuring there's enough oil to prevent sticking.

11

Fry the quesadillas until golden brown, adjusting the heat to avoid burning. They can also be shaped like taquitos if desired.
