It was one of those “what’s-left-in-the-fridge” situations and you know the ones where dinner.Panic yet somehow ends in something unexpectedly magical so yes that kind of moment.

We had a bag of potatoes and we also had half a block of cheese which might have been cheddar or maybe Colby Jack and honestly it’s hard to say for sure and there was a pack of tortillas that were getting very close to turning into tortilla crackers so my sister suggested ordering takeout but I said give me 45 minutes and if it turns out to be a total disaster then we’ll just pretend this never happened.

And spoiler alert it was definitely not a disaster because after the first bite I just stared at the plate while thinking wait did I really make this since the cheese was gooey and the potato was creamy and there was this perfect little spicy kick so it turned into comfort food on a completely different level.

Have you ever had that kind of moment when something simple ends up feeling just like a warm hug from the inside because that’s exactly what these cheesy potato enchiladas are as they’re messy and comforting and ridiculously easy and somehow they’re even better the next day if they actually last that long.

And no judgment at all if you end up eating the leftovers cold since I’ve definitely been there too.

Ingredients :

• 2 cups mashed potatoes fresh or leftover
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup sour cream optional for extra creaminess
• 1/2 cup cooked corn frozen or canned
• 8 small corn tortillas
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or cheese blend

How to Make Cheesy Potato Enchiladas ??

Step 1

The first thing you need to do is preheat your oven. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a medium baking dish with cooking spray or a little oil.

Step 2

Now, let’s prepare the potato filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, corn, sour cream if using, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended, then heat the tortillas. Heat the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave until soft and pliable. This helps prevent them from cracking when rolled.

Step 3

Now, fill and roll the enchiladas. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the potato mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll them up gently and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.

Step 4

Then, cover with the salsa and cheese. After placing all the tortillas in the dish, pour the enchilada sauce over them, making sure each enchiladas is well coated. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.

Step 5

Now, it’s time to bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly. Finally, decorate and serve. Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro before serving.
