The reviewer gave this recipe 4 stars. This recipe averages a 4.19 star rating.
Reviewed: Aug. 27, 2008
This was good, but I followed the suggestions given by other reviewers, so I don't know about the original recipe. I fried my tortillas while my potatoes were boiling, and sauteed the onion in the leftover oil. I added the olive oil and milk to the potatoes and mashed them up a little bit, but left in large potato chunks. I also used chili-and-lime refried beans, and added jalepenos. I used only one can of sauce and had no problem with moisture. I also added much more cheese to the top than the recipe calls for. I thought these were delicious and very filling--I didn't need to serve any side dishes except chips and salsa. I have a TON of leftovers, including a lot of leftover filling that will have to be used for burritos or something.

I made this recipe because I had a left over baked potato, so count me in as another reviewer who didn't use mashed potatoes. I sauted half a large onion in canola oil, added the cubed potato, sprinkled with taco seasoning and then added the almost fully drained can of pinto beans. Used an 8oz bag of shredded Mexican cheese and most of a 19oz can of enchilada sauce. This made 15 enchiladas.

These were very good, but a little on the dry side. I will most likely try this again and hope I get them a little less dry.

A very tasty recipe, though I agree with other reviewers that the recipe as written comes out too dry. Twice as much sauce wouldn't be too much. Liked this as a hearty main dish without meat. Hard to please my husband with any meatless main dish, but he enjoyed this one.

I found it's better if you use 2 cans of enchilada sauce. Otherwise very tasty!

I've made this on numerous occasions and my whole family loves it! I've also passed it on to friends who love it too (kids adore it too!).

This dish is really good. I did not mash the potatoes but used "Simply Potatoes" diced potatoes with onion. You can find them by the eggs in a dark green pack. I followed the cooking directions on the pack but after cooking for the 12 to 15 min. they said to I felt they were still to hard so I then turned them down, added a little water, kept covered and cooked another 10-15 min. Perfect. When they were done I didn't mash them but kind of broke them up a little and kept going. Texture was perfect. Don't know if I would care for the potatoes being "mashed potatoes". I didn't use the salsa and used a 19 oz. can of enchilada sauce. I think it would have been to dry if I had used less. It turned out great and neither me or my husband missed the fact that there was no meat in them and believe me my husband would have let me know if he had. Will make again.

I followed other cook's suggestions and didn't mash the potatoes, used black beans instead of pinto, green chilies instead of the salsa and sauteed the onions. They turned out well and I will make them again. I might add a can of corn next time for color and sweetness.

Looked really great but they were not exceptionally great or a big hit. Made as stated in the recipe and would have probably done better to follow some of the other reviewers suggestions.

I will add this to my other potato enchilada recipie. I actually cook the potatos, let them cool, then shred them in my cuisinart. You get much better texture than mashed. Would suggest folks do that.

My family & I enjoyed this recipe but like other reviewers, I tinkered with it to make it more appealing to my family. #1 Please don't mash the potatoes, cubed potatoes make a better consistency. #2 Use the sharpest cheese you can find and #4 Saute onions instead of adding them raw. I think it improves the flavor & you won't have crunchy onions in the mixture. We prefer flour tortillas vs. corn so I changed that as well. This recipe is a solid foundation with room to improvise, there are many things a cook can add to change the character of this recipe to suit their family's tastes. Thank you, LauraKE for sharing and the other folks for their suggestions!

This was quite tasty, all 3 adults in our family liked it. A good way to use up mashed potatoes too! I didn't have any pinto beans so I substituted a can of refried beans - came out very good.

These were great! They have some substance to them even though there isn't any meat in them and really fill you up. I needed to add extra enchilada sauce to make sure that they were covered completely (I was worried they would dry out). Definitely a keeper.

My husband and kids loved it. I ran out of the potato mixture so I will probably use 3 potatoes next time. Very easy to prepare.
