# How to Make It:
01 -
Heat butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add hash browns or diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
02 -
Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper onto the cooked potatoes. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution of seasonings.
03 -
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine sour cream, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir constantly until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
04 -
Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly divide the seasoned potatoes among the tortillas and spoon cheese sauce over the filling.
05 -
Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling securely.
06 -
Place the filled burritos seam side down in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden and sealed.
07 -
Serve the burritos hot, garnished with additional cheese sauce, sliced green onions, or salsa if desired.
