Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked mashed potatoes
• 1 cup ground meat (beef, chicken, or turkey)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 package spring roll wrappers (about 12 wrappers)
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Optional: chopped green onions for garnish

How to Make Crispy Spring Rolls

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat until fully browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
2. Stir in the cooked mashed potatoes, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface or cutting board, pointing one corner towards you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the corner closest to you.
4. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly away from you. Seal the edge with a little water to keep it closed. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
5. In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of wrapper into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
6. Fry the spring rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure the filling is cooled before wrapping to prevent the wrappers from becoming soggy.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan while frying; this ensures even cooking and crispiness.
• If you’re not frying them immediately, cover the assembled spring rolls with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the ground meat with tofu or a plant-based protein for a vegetarian option.
• Add finely chopped vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or cabbage to the filling for extra texture and flavor.
• Experiment with spices by adding chili powder or fresh herbs to the filling for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• Sweet chili sauce for dipping
• Soy sauce or teriyaki sauce
• A fresh salad with a light vinaigrette
• Pickled vegetables for a tangy contrast

Crispy spring rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through and crispy again.
