I am so excited to share this recipe. Chilaquiles (Chee-la-key-les) is a traditional Mexican dish that is made to use up stale tortillas or tortilla chips. I dislike food waste, therefore I love recipes like this one. Recipes that lend ideas to use up ingredients that you have leftover in your fridge. This recipe is so quick, I almost didn’t get any photos while I was cooking. A great recipe for a busy weeknight!

First is the potato pancakes. These hash brown-like patties serve as the base for this dish and use grated russet potatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper. Making the pancake crispy requires removing liquid from the potatoes. I simply took handfuls of grated potato and squeezed out excess moisture over the sink. If you have kids, this could be a fun way for them to contribute in the kitchen!
