Steps

Peel and dice the potato, then boil in salted water until tender (about 15 minutes).
Drain the potato and mash it in a bowl.
Stir in five-spice powder, garlic powder, salt, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.
Place a teaspoon of the potato mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water and fold over to create a triangle, pressing to seal.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the wontons for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Drain on paper towels and serve warm with soy sauce for dipping.

Tips for Chinese Spiced Potato Wontons

A smooth, fairly dry filling is easier to seal; excess moisture can soften the wrappers and cause leaks.
Look for an even golden surface and crisp edges; overcrowding the pan can make the wontons cook unevenly.
Serve soon after frying for the best crunch, with extra soy sauce alongside rather than poured over.

Drink pairing

A crisp lager
Its clean, refreshing finish suits the savory spices and balances the fried, crunchy wrappers.

0% option: Chilled jasmine tea

Storage

Refrigerate cooked leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot, though the wrappers may not stay as crisp.
