Crispy Mash Potatoes

Steps6

1. 1

   Step 1. Boil the potatoes

   Peel the potatoes and cut them into 4 smaller pieces each. Boil in salted water until fork tender, then drain well and transfer to a large bowl.

   Cutting your potatoes into smaller pieces helps them soften faster.

   Step 4. Roll and seal the wrappers

   Double up the egg roll wrappers, add a scoop of the potato filling and roll them up tight. Brush the edges with beaten egg to seal, making sure all edges are sealed.

   Take your time sealing the egg rolls so the filling does not escape into the oil.
