Ingredients

1 russet potato, peeled and cut into ½-inch (1 cm) pieces
3 cloves garlic, peeled
3 teaspoons salt, divided
1 ½ tablespoons butter, divided
6 tablespoons sour cream
4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
½ shallot, thinly sliced
pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 package wonton wrapper
2 cups oil, for frying
sour cream, to serve

Steps:

Add the potatoes, garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon of salt to a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and garlic in a colander, and transfer to a bowl.
Use a fork or potato masher to mash the potatoes.
Add ½ tablespoon of butter, sour cream, Parmesan, and 2 teaspoons of salt to the potatoes and stir to combine.
In a small pan, on medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the shallot, a pinch of salt, and pepper and stir.
Once the shallots are golden brown, add the thyme and remove from the heat.
Add the shallot mixture to the bowl of potatoes and mix to combine.
Place 1 tablespoon of the potato mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper. Wet the tip of your finger and brush the edges of the wrapper, folding it in half on the diagonal, pressing down to secure both sides. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture.
In a large pot, heat oil to 350˚F (180˚F).
Fry the wontons in small batches until golden brown.
Transfer the wontons to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Serve with sour cream.
Enjoy!

POTATO WONTONS

Potato Wontons image

This is a good way to use up left over mashed potatoes and the choice of barbeque or mayonnaise can satisfy the football group or the neighbours. They can also be left out of the mixture and added just before wrapping. The crisp wrapper with flavourful fluffy middle sporting an occasional bacon or onion crunch is a big pleaser

Tips:

For the perfect wonton wrapper, use a wonton wrapper that is thin and pliable. You can find these wrappers in the refrigerated section of most Asian grocery stores.
To make sure the wontons are cooked evenly, fry them in batches. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the wontons will not cook evenly.
Serve the wontons immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces include soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil.
If you don't have time to make your own wonton wrappers, you can use store-bought wonton wrappers. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
You can also use different fillings for your wontons. Some popular fillings include shrimp, pork, chicken, and vegetables.
