Roast guajillo peppers in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from skillet and cool slightly. Cut pepper in half lengthwise and discard seeds.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry tortillas, one at a time to soften, about 10 seconds; drain on paper towels. Divide potato mixture onto tortillas. Roll up and secure each with a toothpick.

Fry flautas in batches in same skillet until crisp, about 1 minute, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels. To serve, top flautas with sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions.
