  3. Add salt to taste

Potato Filling:

  1. Peel the potatoes, then add them to a large pot of salted, boiling water.

Pasilla Sauce:

  3. Heat 3 tablespoons of Mazola Canola Oil in a medium saucepan, add the chopped onion, tomatillos in halves and garlic, and a dash of salt, stirring occasionally until you see golden brown spots and the colour of the tomatillos changed from vibrant green to a pale green.
