These are one of the most delicious things ever… I probably could’ve eaten all of them myself!
You can use leftover mashed potatoes (is that even a thing?? leftover potatoes?), packaged potatoes or even just boil up a batch of potatoes and mash them! I use cheddar because I love the flavor, any cheese will work of course, you could even use 1/2 a cheese string if it’s all you have on hand!
Be sure to try to seal the cheese in the potatoes and make sure the wrapper is completely sealed. This will help avoid leaking and splattering.

Ingredients:
- 2 cups prepared (or leftover) mashed potatoes
- 1/4 cup bacon bits or crumbled cooked bacon
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 8 sticks of cheese, approx. 3″ long by 1/4″ square
- 8-10 Egg Roll Wrappers
Directions:
- Combine cooled mashed potatoes, bacon bits, green onions, egg, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Wrap about 3 tablespoons of the mashed potato mixture around each stick of cheese trying to ensure it is completely covered (this helps prevent leaks).
- Lay each egg roll wrapper out with a corner pointing towards you. Place your mashed potato and cheese filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold in the sides and roll the wrapper tightly. Use a dab of water to secure the tip of the wrapper. (If you don’t know how to roll an egg roll it usually shows on the package).
- Note: It is important to make sure the sides of the wrapper are tucked in holding the ingredients in. If they leak, it can cause splattering.
- Preheat oil to 350 degrees. Fry each egg roll for about 4-5 minutes or until browned and crispy.
- Serve hot with sour cream for dipping.

Could these be baked in oven instead of frying?
I haven’t tried baking this recipe but egg rolls usually can be baked. I would suggest brushing the outside with olive oil and baking at 425 degrees for about 12-15 minutes or until browned & crispy.
Can they be baked instead? no fryer here!

I’ve noticed you’ve answered this question a few times… And since I’m marred into an Asian family (egg rolls, spring rolls @ every party!) And don’t like fried food one of my quick and low oil hacks is to just lightly spray a cookie shred with cooking spray, lay out the egg rolls then spray the egg role lightly too. Half way through cooking flip them over and wala! Crispy rolls!
Ps…. The is my same haack for even fries too as. Hate frying but love the crispness of it ;)
Thank you for sharing Nichole! Great tip!
These are just awesome! Featured them on Mouthwatering Mondays! Thank you so much for linking up! Have a delicious week! :-)
Can these be made ahead, frozen then fried
I haven’t tried freezing these before (I think it would work but can’t say for sure)!

What kind of cheese do you use?
I use cheddar cheese or light cheddar.
Can you use spring rolls instead of egg rolls
I haven’t tried it but I’m sure that would work just as well! You may need to adjust cooking time or oil temperature according to the package directions on your spring roll wrappers.
Wow thank you! These look amazing. I am going to try to cook these in my air fryer!
Oh yum! I’d love to hear how they turn out in the air fryer!!
OMG! My boo would love these! Thanks for sharing!
This is one of the best ideas I’ve ever seen! Thanks so much for sharing!
These look so good! I can’t wait to try these! Who knew you could do all this with egg rolls? I want to check out some of the other ones you have here too. We may just have to go all Chinese/American here! LOL
LOL! They’re so fun… you can literally fill them with ANYTHING… sweet or savory!!
Just made these, they are the bomb! I used store-bought mashed potatoes already flavored, I put a paper towel over the store-bought mashed potatoes to absorb any liquid that might be presen. I added bacon that goes in the microwave, which I crumbles, put in scallion, garlic powder, onion powder, one egg, salt-and-pepper. Tasted it, delicious! I also cut the cheese in half and made it shorter and started to rule they are gorgeous and I cannot wait to bring them in to work. Total time from start to finish about 40 min. Just started my oven I’m going to try and bake one.
I’m so glad you loved them Mariann! You made some great shortcuts to keep this recipe quick! I’d love to hear what you think of the baked one too!
Did anyone try baking them? How did they turn out?

You are seriously causing me to suffer from extreme sleep deprivation. I started by wanting to copy out your recipe for Loaded Mashed Potato Cakes. And then I saw the one for the Egg Rolls, and then I saw the one for the Bacon Cheeseburger Egg Rolls, and then . . . well, now it’s 2:00 a.m. I am 68 years old. I need my sleep (no need to worry about Beauty Rest — that’s a thing of the distant past!). And what’s this business about “Pinning”? I don’t know what that means, or how to do it. But in spite of tripping over the bags under my eyes, I really appreciate the wonderful recipes. Thank you for sharing them, and please, keep them coming.

Can the egg rolls be made and frozen or do you have to use them right away
They can be frozen before cooking.
I live in Ireland.. we don’t have egg rolls. Can I use filo pastry Instead? Thanks
I haven’t tried it but I’m sure that would be delicious!
