Ingredients

For the Potatoes: What is

4 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed clean.
2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 tablespoon salt. 2
Salt and pepper to taste.

I always use russet potatoes because they get nice and fluffy when baked. You can also use Yukon gold potatoes for a creamier texture. Just make sure to scrub them well before baking!

For the Filling:

6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled.
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. 1 lb. s
1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt): 1 cup.
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives.
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. 1 teaspoon a pinch.
Salt and pepper to taste.

What are the steps to

Step 1: Bake the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). I prick the potatoes with a fork, then rub them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are soft and easily pierced with a fork. I always put them directly on the oven rack. This helps them get nice and crispy. I usually bake an extra one for myself to enjoy!

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon until crispy. Let it cool and then crumble it into small pieces. Can you chop chives and shred cheddar cheese? I like to prep all my ingredients before I start assembling the egg rolls. What makes the process so much faster and easier?

Step 3: Scoop and Mash

Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half and scoop out the flesh into a large bowl. Potatoes: Mash potatoes with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Don’t over-mash them, you still want them to have a little bit of texture. I like to leave a few small chunks for extra potatoey goodness.

Step 4: Combine!

Add the crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. Top with shredded cheese. What are the best ways to cook mashed potatoes? Mix everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. What are some good ways to add garlic powder to a recipe? How do you customize a flavor to your liking?

Step 5: Roll the Egg Rolls

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing towards you. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the potato mixture in the center of a wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the egg roll up tightly, sealing the edge with a little bit of the beaten egg. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. I always keep a small bowl of water nearby to dampen my fingers. How do you seal egg rolls?

Step 6: Fry ‘Em Up!

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). How do you cook egg rolls in hot oil? Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain. I always use a slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls from the oil. How do I drain off excess oil?

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Let the Loaded Baked Potato Egg Rolls cool slightly before serving. Serve them with extra sour cream, chives, or your favorite dipping sauce. I love to dip them in ranch dressing or even a little bit of sriracha mayo for a spicy kick. They’re also delicious on their own!

Top Tips for Perfecting Your Loaded Baked Potato Egg Rolls

Here are a few tips and tricks to help you make the best Loaded Baked Potato Egg Rolls ever:

Don’t Overfill the Egg Rolls: This is the most common mistake! If you overfill the egg rolls, they will burst open while frying. Stick to about 2-3 tablespoons of filling per egg roll.

Seal the Egg Rolls Tightly: Make sure to seal the egg rolls tightly with the beaten egg. This will prevent the filling from leaking out during frying.

Use Freshly Grated Cheese: Freshly grated cheese melts better and tastes better than pre-shredded cheese. It’s worth the extra effort.

Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: When frying the egg rolls, don’t overcrowd the pan. This will lower the temperature of the oil and result in soggy egg rolls. Fry them in batches, a few at a time.

Use a Wire Rack: After frying the egg rolls, place them on a wire rack to drain. This will help to keep them crispy.

Get Creative with the Fillings: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different fillings! Try adding chopped jalapenos, caramelized onions, or even some pulled pork. The possibilities are endless!

I learned these tips the hard way, after making many batches of less-than-perfect egg rolls. But now, I can confidently say that I’ve mastered the art of the Loaded Baked Potato Egg Roll!

Storing and Reheating Tips

These Loaded Baked Potato Egg Rolls are best served fresh, but you can definitely store them for later. Here’s how:

Refrigerator Storage: Store the fried egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and crispy. You can also reheat them in an air fryer for a few minutes.

Freezer Instructions: To freeze, place the fried egg rolls on a baking sheet and freeze for 1-2 hours, or until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. To reheat, bake them directly from frozen in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and crispy.

Uncooked Egg Rolls: You can also freeze the uncooked egg rolls. Just place them on a baking sheet and freeze for 1-2 hours, or until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to cook them, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and then fry them as directed.

I always make a big batch of these and freeze some for later. They’re perfect for a quick and easy snack or appetizer when I don’t have time to cook.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bake these instead of frying them?

Yes, you can bake them! Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush them with olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through. They won’t be quite as crispy as fried egg rolls, but they’ll still be delicious.

Can I use different types of cheese?

Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as pepper jack, Monterey Jack, or even a blend of cheddar and mozzarella. Just make sure to use a cheese that melts well.

Can I add different toppings?

Of course! Get creative with your toppings. Try adding chopped jalapenos, caramelized onions, or even some pulled pork. The possibilities are endless!

Can I make these vegetarian?

Yes, you can easily make these vegetarian by simply omitting the bacon. You can also add some cooked and crumbled vegetarian bacon substitute for a similar flavor.

What can I use instead of sour cream?

You can use Greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream. It adds the same tanginess with fewer calories.
