Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F degrees. Over medium-high heat, bring a pot of water to boil. Add potatoes and return to boiling; cook 5 - 6 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain well.
  2. In a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat, heat 1/4-inch of oil to hot. Using tongs, place one tortilla in the hot oil for a few seconds until it puffs; quickly turn it over with the tongs. Cook a few seconds more, then remove the tortilla and allow it to drain on paper towels. Repeat with three more tortillas, adding a little more oil as necessary.
  3. Place whole tortillas on a baking sheet. Top with potato cubes, dividing evenly between the four tortillas. Top each tostada with 1/4 of the salsa, 1/4 of the sausage and 1/4 of the cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, about 6 - 8 minutes. Remove from oven and place tostadas on individual serving dishes.
