Crispy Mashed Potato! WOW!

Crispy Mashed Potato (Bangkok Edition)

When I was in one of the conferences in Bangkok, I had the chance to taste crispy mashed potato, one of the dishes served during the break.  The mashed potato were wrapped into small bites like a "sipa"as shown in the figure. I tried one and wow, the mashed potato explodes in your mouth since the wrapper is crispy. The experience was so memorable such that I suggested we try recreate the recipe during our Christmas or New Year meal as a substitute to Apple's tradition potato croquet. Read our how to make potato croquet post. 

Our first try (Christmas) was not successful since we used a wrong wrapper. There was no lumpia wrapper at the supermarket when we went shopping. So I made sure that for New Year, we have the lumpia wrapper. So Apple used the lumpia wrapper in the previously cooked mashed potato. Simple ala lumpia roll wrapping was used. There are tutorials on how to prepare lumpia mashed potato in YouTube.

Come new year, they were deep fried to make sure that they will come out crispy. And lo and behold, our Crispy Mashed Potato was a succes. We may have no "paputok" during the new year, but our mouth were so delighted with that explosive crispy lumpia mashed potato. Happy New Year!
