Leftover Sweet Potato Wontons Recipes

HOLIDAY LEFT-OVER SWEET POTATO CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Stir together the sugar and vegetable oil in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and sweet potatoes. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a separate bowl; stir into the batter 1 cup at a time, alternating with the beer just until everything comes together. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
• Bake for 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting or serving.

THANKSGIVING LEFTOVER SWEET POTATO WAFFLES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the waffles: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, olive oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and sweet potato until smooth.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined, making sure not to overmix the batter.
• Heat a waffle iron and grease with oil.
• Scoop enough batter to fill your waffle iron into the center. Close the iron and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the waffle is golden brown and cooked all the way through. Remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
• Make the cranberry syrup: Add the cranberry sauce and orange juice to a blender and blend until smooth. The syrup should be thin enough to drizzle, but not liquidy. Add more orange juice as needed to reach the right consistency. Set aside.
• Make the pecan topping: In a small saucepan, combine the apple, pecans, maple syrup, and water. Cook over medium-high heat until the syrup starts to glaze the pecans and the apples soften, about 10 minutes.
• Serve the waffles warm with the pecan topping, cranberry syrup, and a few pieces of goat cheese, if desired.
• Enjoy!

THANKSGIVING LEFTOVER WONTONS WITH CRANBERRY SALSA

Steps:

• Pour the lemon juice over the dried cranberries in a bowl; set aside. Mix the turkey, stuffing, cream cheese, and turkey gravy in a separate bowl until thoroughly combined.
• Place a wonton wrapper on a work surface; spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Moisten two opposite edges of the wrapper with a finger dipped in water, fold the wrapper in half the long way, and press the edges together with a fork. Sprinkle the wrapper with salt. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
• Heat the canola oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat; pan-fry the filled wontons in batches until crisp and golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain the fried wontons on paper towels; allow to cool for about 5 minutes to set the filling.
• Drain the lemon juice from the dried cranberries. Place cranberries into a food processor; pulse several times until the cranberries are finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the onion, lime juice, jalapeno pepper, garlic, and water. Serve with the hot fried wontons.

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.
