Potato Wontons

Dani Jean's Note:

This is a good way to use up left over mashed potatoes and the choice of barbeque or mayonnaise can satisfy the football group or the neighbours. They can also be left out of the mixture and added just before wrapping. The crisp wrapper with flavourful fluffy middle sporting an occasional bacon or onion crunch is a big pleaser

These were very good. I made as directed, using turkey bacon and bbq sauce, and it ended up making 21 wontons. Seemed like it needed a dip but we weren't sure what to use, so we used 3 kinds: bbq sauce, ranch dressing, and ketchup. All of them worked. Thanks for posting!
