Salsa verde made from scratch with fresh serranos and cilantro elevates this enchilada recipe into restaurant-level territory. The brightness and heat from the salsa makes a perfect match for potatoes and gooey cheese.
Salsa Verde
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound tomatillos, husks removed, rinsed, and cut in quarters
1 Roma tomato, diced
1/2 serrano chili, chopped
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 large handful cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper
Potatoes
6 Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed, peels on
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed
salt and pepper
4 small tortillas, heated
3 ounces grated Cheddar or Jack cheese
Preheat the oven to broil. Tear two sheets of aluminum foil 12x12-inches in size.
For the salsa, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, tomatillos, tomato, and serrano pepper to the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.
Add the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and let cook for 10 minutes or until the tomatillos are soft.
Transfer the salsa mixture to a blender. Add the cilantro, cover, and process until smooth. Return to the pan to keep warm over low heat.
For the potatoes, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are soft and browned.
Fill each tortilla with some of the potatoes and a couple tablespoons of the grated cheese. Fold in the sides of the tortillas then roll up to seal in the filling. Place 2 on each piece of foil. Fold the foil around the enchiladas to create a boat. Place the foil in a baking dish. Spoon the salsa over the tortillas and top with the remaining cheese. Place in the oven under the broiler and cook for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Serve hot.
