*POTATO STUFFING*

Reduce heat to low. Add chili powder and cumin and cook 2 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pour enchilada sauce over enchiladas.

Sprinkle with feta and remaining 1⅓ cups Jack cheese. Cover with foil. Bake until heated through and bubbling, about 30 minutes. Serve with sour cream and green onions.

Note: Although I'm sure that the _Bon Appetite_ chefs know exactly what they are talking about, I find that, at high temperatures, olive oil breaks down a great deal, begins to smoke, and sets off fire alarms all over. I use peanut oil and a wok to saute potatoes since, as far as skillets go, I don't have non-stick and heavy all in one.

Additionally, I don't use any extra salt in the dish, finding it amply seasoned without.
