5 medium-large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled cut into 1 inch cubes (To equal roughly 3 cups mashed)
1 teaspoon salt divided use
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 oz chive and onion cream cheese softened
½ teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
black pepper to taste
¾ cup shredded colby jack cheese
6 slices bacon cooked and finely crumbled
6 medium green onions thinly sliced
30 wonton wrappers
1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon cold water
4 cups vegetable or peanut oil for frying
sour cream for serving

To make filling: In a medium size pot, cover potatoes completely with cold water. Add ½ teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium-high cooking for 8-10 minutes or just until fork tender. Drain well.
To the potatoes, add butter, cream cheese, reserved ½ teaspoon salt, granulated garlic and black pepper to taste. Whip with an electric mixer until smooth. (You may adjust salt to taste.)
Mix in shredded cheese, bacon and green onion by hand. Chill potato filling for 1-2 hours or overnight. (Reserve 2 tablespoon green onion for garnishing)
To assemble: Brush wonton wrappers with beaten egg on all outside edges. Fill wonton wrappers with about 1 tablespoon potato filling. Roll up starting with pointed edge, folding sides into filling ending pointed edge side down. Seal adding a bit with more egg, if needed to seal.
Preheat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or pot and heat to 350-360°F. Fry spring rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes, until crispy and golden, turning for even browning. Have nearby a pan lined with paper towels. Remove from oil using a slotted spoon to pan to drain.
Serve immediately garnished with reserved bacon and onion with sour cream or ranch dressing for dipping.

To Air Fry:

Preheat the air fryer 390°F. Spray basket of air fryer and spring rolls on all sides with cooking spray or an oil spritzer.
Assemble spring rolls per the recipe. Spray on all sides with cooking spray.
Arrange spring rolls in a single layer in the basket. Cook in batches, until lightly browned for 5-6 minutes.
Turn, spritz again and cook until golden brown and crisp another 5-6 minutes longer. Adjust the time depending on how your appliance performs.
Serve with sour cream or ranch dressing for dipping.
