Instructions

1. Thinly slice the potatoes and onions using a mandoline or sharp knife. Mince the garlic.
2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the sliced potatoes and onions. Cook until softened and lightly browned, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Remove the skillet from the heat.
6. Heat a separate large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly brush with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.
7. Place one tortilla in the heated skillet.
8. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla.
9. Top with the potato and onion mixture, spreading it evenly.
10. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the potato mixture.
11. Place the second tortilla on top.
12. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and gooey. Use a spatula to press down gently on the quesadilla to help the cheese melt and the tortillas crisp up evenly.
13. Remove from the skillet, let cool slightly, and cut into wedges before serving.
