In a skillet over medium heat, cook the onion, wait for it to change color, add the cooked potatoes and mash until it forms a puree, add the Cotija cheese and season with salt and pepper. Place the corn tortillas on a board and fill them with the potatoes, roll them into a taco shape and fry for a couple of minutes or until golden in hot oil. Drain on paper towels. For the pico de gallo, in a bowl mix the onion with the tomato, cilantro, habanero chili, lime juice, salt, and pepper and set aside. Serve the taquitos on a plate and top with pico de gallo, cream, crumbled cheese, and enjoy.
