Cooking Instructions
  1. Cook diced potatoes in a skillet over medium heat until tender and lightly golden, about 10-12 minutes.
  2. In a separate skillet, brown the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. After about 5-7 minutes, add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
  3. Gently whisk eggs in a bowl, pour into the skillet with sausage, and scramble until just set, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Mix in cooked potatoes and half of the shredded cheese into the skillet, stirring well to combine.
  5. Place a portion of the filling onto each tortilla and roll them up tightly. Arrange seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  6. Whisk together salsa, sour cream, and heavy cream until smooth. Pour sauce evenly over the enchiladas and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly golden.
