Yield: 3 dozen
Ingredients:
1 package round wonton wrappers, thawed
1 large sweet potato, finely diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon parsley flakes
¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1–2 cups oil, for frying
Sauce:
½ stick butter
¼ cup flour
1½ cups milk
2 cloves garlic, crushed
½ tablespoon parsley
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ tablespoon dry white wine
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Toss sweet potato with oil and spices and place on a 9×13 baking sheet.
Bake for 1 hour until the edges are browning and the potatoes are soft.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Add fetta and mozzarella cheese.
Fill wonton wrappers with 1 teaspoon of the sweet potato-cheese filling.
Seal the wrappers closed using a bit of water around the edges.
Heat the oil in a deep-frying pan.
Fry the wontons for 2 minutes per side until golden.
Remove from pan and drain excess oil on a paper towel-lined tray.
Serve warm or at room temperature with sauce.
To prepare sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat.
Add flour and mix until fully incorporated and turning golden.
Slowly add milk and spices and allow to thicken.
Then add the wine and simmer for an additional 3 minutes.
If the sauce appears too thick, add more milk until it’s at the desired consistency.
Note: The sauce will thicken as it cools. If reheating, add milk.
