Crispy Potato Tacos

Anyone who follows the blog, will know my love of Mexican food.  As Spring is finally arriving, I decided to combine new potatoes, which are already hitting the shops (although the absolute best Finnish new potatoes will still be a few months before they are available), and a little spicy Mexican flavour.  So here are my Crispy potato tacos!  They are easy and incredibly moreish with a spicy kick.  I have kept them quite simple so the potato remains the star of the show.  Pile them up in advance or let your guests help themselves.  Mexican food to me should be a social event and eating with your hands is a must!

Meanwhile remove the chipotle chilli from soaking, finely chop and mix well with the creme fraiche, chopped tarragon, pickled jalapeños and a good squeeze of lime.  Taste, season and add a little extra lime if necessary.
