Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potato and goat cheese.
- Fold the chives into the mashed potato and cheese mixture.
- Place a heaping teaspoon of the mashed potato mixture in the middle of a wonton wrapper, wet the edges of the wrapper lightly with water and fold one corner on to the other, creating a triangle, sealing the edges firmly with your fingers. Don't let any of the filling get on the edges as it will leak out during cooking. If this happens try less filling.
- When you've used up all the filling and/or wrappers, arrange the pillows on a parchment lined plate and refrigerate them for about 20 minutes.
- Heat the butter over medium heat in a large pan until it starts to foam slightly. Add the pillows in one layer (you can do this in batches so you don't crowd the pan) and cook a few minutes on each side until warmed through and soft.
- Serve right away nice and warm!

- Add the seasonings and mix well: Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to the mashed potatoes and mix well.
- Form the potato pillows: Use a spoon or your hands to form the potato mixture into small, oval-shaped pillows.
- Coat the potato pillows in bread crumbs: Dredge the potato pillows in the bread crumbs, pressing gently to help them adhere.
