Ingredients

  • 2 large baking potatoes, washed and peeled, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, diced, plus more, to taste, for garnish
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 3 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, cut into small strips
  • 8 strips thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • canola oil, to taste
  • ranch dressing, optional, to taste, for serving

Directions

Step 1 -In a pot of boiling water add the potatoes and cook until tender, about 9-12 minutes.

Step 2 -Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl.

Step 3 -Add the butter, the sour cream, the garlic, and the salt to the potatoes and mash with a potato masher or a fork until combined. Be careful not to over-mash, as this will result in gluey potatoes.

Step 4 -Add 2 tablespoons of the green onions to the mashed potato mixture and stir to combine.

Step 5 -Allow the mashed potato mixture to cool until it is cool to the touch, about 5-10 minutes.

Step 6 -On a clean, dry surface, lay out the egg roll wrappers.

Step 7 -Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the mashed potato mixture in the center of each of the egg roll wrappers.

Step 8 -Top each of the mashed potato mixtures with 1 strip of the cheese and an even amount of the crumbled bacon.

Step 9 -Brush the outer edges of the egg roll wrappers with the beaten egg.

Step 10 -Working 1 at a time, fold up the bottom corner of an egg roll wrapper halfway to cover the filling.

Step 11 -Fold the right and left sides of the egg roll wrapper towards the center.

Step 12 -Roll the folded-up section of the egg roll wrapper towards the remaining corner. Make sure all the edges are sealed shut.

Step 13 -Repeat until all of the egg roll wrappers are folded and sealed.

Step 14 -In a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, add the oil and allow it to heat to 375 degrees F.

Step 15 -Add the egg rolls, in batches as necessary, until they reach a golden-brown color, about 2 minutes.

Step 16 -Transfer the egg rolls to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.

Step 17 -Garnish with the extra green onions and serve with the ranch dressing.
