Ingredients
2
cups sauerkraut (drained)
½
cups onion (minced and sautéed)
4
oz corned beef (chopped)
1
cups potatoes (diced and cooked)
½
tsp pepper
¼
tsp salt
oil for frying
1
tbsp water
1
tbsp flour
12
7 in. egg roll wrappers
1
cups swiss cheese (grated)
thousand island dressing
Preparation
Press the drained sauerkraut with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Mix the kraut, onion, beef, and potatoes in a large bowl. Add the salt and pepper. Stir to blend.
Heat your deep fryer oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a small bowl, mix the water and flour with a teaspoon to make a paste.
To assemble the rolls, place a wrapper diagonally (like a diamond) on a clean surface. Place 1/4 – 1/3 cup of the mixture in the middle of the egg roll wrapper. Top with two tablespoons cheese. Fold down the top corner, then the left & bottom corners, and roll. Seal the last corner with a dab of the flour paste.
Add the rolls to the hot oil, turning occasionally, and cook for one to two minutes, or until golden brown.
Drain the rolls on paper towels, and serve with the thousand island as a dipping sauce.
