LOADED BAKED POTATO WONTONS

Steps:

• Fill a large pot halfway up with oil and heat to 365 degrees F. Cook the bacon in a large skillet, over medium heat, until crispy on both sides, about 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer onto paper towels to drain, and then roughly chop.
• Prepare the mashed potatoes according to package directions and then stir in half of the bacon, 2 tablespoons chopped chives, and half of the cheese. Let cool to room temperature.
• To shape the wontons, work with one wrapper at a time. Add about a teaspoon or two of the potato mixture in the center. Brush the edges with egg wash and then seal and crimp into a triangle. Fold 2 points together, brush with egg and pinch to seal. Continue shaping until all the filling has been used.
• Once vegetable oil is hot, carefully add a few of the wontons at a time and fry until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and continue frying the rest.
• To make the sauce, stir together the sour cream, garlic, salt, pepper and scallions. Set aside.
• Arrange the wontons onto a baking sheet, piling them up in the center. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bacon and bake in a 350 degree F oven for about 10 minutes, just to melt the cheese.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with remaining bacon and chives. Serve with scallion sour cream sauce on the side.

• Heat butter in a skillet and saute onions until soft but not golden. Remove to a bowl and mix with mashed potatoes, cottage and cheddar cheeses.To fill: Take out a few wrappers, leaving others under a cloth to keep moist. Center a teaspoonful of filling of your choice on wrapper. Fold dough over the filling to form a semi- circle. Brush bottom edge of semi- circle only with water and press top edge over the top. Pinch the edges together well so that they come together. You can make top "pleats" or not, as you wish. Repeat with the other wrappers until you have created as many "stuffed pastas" as you wish.

Add meat dumplings and cook gently so filling does not explode for 3 to 4 minutes or until meat is cooked through. Serve with a ladleful of broth and vegetables, garnish with sliced scallion of chives. . To saute meat dumplings: Heat 1 tablespoon each of sesame and vegetable oil in 12-inch skillet. Add 12 dumplings and saute until crisp on one side, about 5 minutes. Cover and steam another 2 minutes or until filling is cooked through. Remove to a plate; fry more if needed. Serve with a sauce of soy mixed with rice vinegar, sugar and scallion. Note you can also deep fry them for about 2 to 3 minutes or until golden.
