DAIRY BELLE "KONA" POTATO
BURRITO
 
This was served at Dairy Bell, a fast food restaurant chain in San Jose, CA in the late 1960's as a "Kona Taco" burrito.

1 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. cooking oil
1/4 cup yellow or white onions, diced
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
2 dashes chili powder
salt and pepper, to taste
1 flour tortilla
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Add butter and cooking oil to a skillet. Over medium heat, fry diced onions and peeled, diced potatoes until tender and slightly browned. Season with a couple of dashes of chili powder, salt and pepper.

Fry flour tortilla on both sides until it softens and is slightly browned.

Fill tortilla with warm fried potatoes and sprinkle with grated cheese. Add a little ketchup if desired. wrap and serve warm.

Note: Other than using a flour tortilla and being called a taco or burrito, this dish is in no way a Mexican recipe. It's more like a fried potato wrap!

I skipped the ketchup, but might try it next time just for nostalgia's sake. It's definitely more of a potato wrap than anything else. A fun throwback recipe if you want something different.
