Crispy wantons filled with mashed sweet potato.

ingredients

1/2 Pkg wanton wrappers (15 oz size)
1 medium sweet potato mashed (or use canned)
1/4 tsp cinnamon to garnish

directions

1
Preheat counter top fryer while preparing the wantons.
2
Separate wanton wrappers in a single layer on a greased baking sheet. Cover with a damp paper towel to keep wantons from drying out.
3
Place 1/4 teaspoon mashed sweet potato in center of each wanton wrapper.
4
Seal ends to form a triangle. (make sure all ends are well sealed before frying)
5
Place 1 or 2 wantons at a time in deep fryer. Cook until evenly browned (about 2 - 3 minutes)
6
Carefully remove wanton with a slotted spoon onto paper towels to drain.
7
Sprinkle each wanton with cinnamon.
8
Serve immediately.

notes

Can be made on stove top in a heavy skillet, but using a counter top deep fryer produced a more puffy, evenly browned wanton. Sprinkle with some brown sugar right before serving for a sweeter treat.
