Preheat broiler and line a baking sheet with foil. Place poblano peppers on a baking sheet and broil for 10-15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until they become blistered and blackened all over. Once finished, remove from the oven and place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let steam for 20 minutes. Peel and discard pepper skins, cut into slices, discarding the stem and seeds. Chop roughly and taste for heat.
Add diced potatoes to a large pot and fill with cold water. Add salt and bring to a boil. Boil the potatoes until just tender when poked with a fork, about 5 minutes once the water has reached a boil. Drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, sliced garlic and smoked paprika and saute, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Add roughly chopped Swiss chard stems and leaves. Saute about 3 minutes then add potatoes and chopped poblanos (start with one, add the second after tasting the mixture for heat). Saute for 2-3 minutes, remove from the heat.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread half a cup of salsa verde on the bottom of an 11×13 inch roasting pan. Mix the two cheeses together in a bowl. Fill each of the tortillas with a few spoonfuls of the potato filling, and 2-3 TBS of cheese, then roll up and place seam-side down in the pan. Repeat with all tortillas until pan is full, then spoon another half cup of salsa verde over the top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, then bake until cheese is bubbly and golden and edges of tortillas are crispy (about 25-30 minutes). Remove from oven and serve with leftover salsa verde.
Preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with foil. Remove the husks and stem from the tomatillos and wash. Cut tomatillos in half. Place one half cut side down on the baking sheet. Set the other half aside. If using two chiles, place one of the serranos on the baking sheet as well. Broil the tomatillos and chile for 8-10 minutes, flipping over with tongs once about halfway through. Remove from the oven.
Add the roasted tomatillos and their juices to a blender, then add the raw tomatillos, onion, garlic, cilantro, water, lime juice, and salt. For a spicier blend, add do not seed Serrano peppers before adding. After blending, taste and decide whether to add the roasted serrano. Blend the tomatillos on high until a smooth puree forms. Taste, and adjust flavour with more ingredients if needed. Set aside.
