Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small chunks. Boil them in salted water for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
Mash the potatoes in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir the butter and garlic mixture into the mashed potatoes. Add the green onions, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the spices are fully incorporated.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of the potato filling in the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and run it along the edges of the wonton wrapper to moisten. Fold the wrapper into a triangle, pressing firmly to seal the edges. For extra security, press the edges with a fork or make pleats along the seam. Repeat until all wrappers are filled.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add a few wontons at a time to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the wontons for 2-3 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining wontons.
Serve the potato wontons hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
