Preparing the Potatoes

Transfer to the bowl with sausage and stir until combined.

In the center of 1 tortilla, spoon 1/8 of the mixture. Roll up and place seam side down in the baking dish.
Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Making the Egg Mixture
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs, half-and-half, flour, and salt.
Pour over the tortillas.
