Potato and Mushroom Enchiladas

Potato Enchiladas?  Really?

Being a former New Mexican, I never would have thought of using potatoes for Enchilada Filling, but I was so wrong!

With the addition of mushrooms, and a little dab of Tofu Sour Cream on top these potato enchiladas are the BOMB!

Oh my gosh –  and the sauce……  Who knew homemade enchilada sauce could be so easy and tasty.

When my daughter and wife go back for seconds, you know it’s good.

Many thanks to the folks at Forks Over Knives and The Starch Solution for this amazing recipe.
