Ingredients
12 egg roll wrappers
1/2 lb andouille sausage (spicy), crumbled (or spicy chicken/turkey sausage)
1 cup cooked sweet potatoes, mashed or finely diced
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
1/4 cup green onions, sliced
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Water or 1 beaten egg (for sealing)
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
1. Cook sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook and crumble the andouille sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed and let cool slightly.
2. Mix filling: In a bowl, combine sausage, sweet potatoes, cream cheese, cheddar, red bell pepper, green onions, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and evenly combined.
3. Set up wrappers: Place an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape on a clean surface.
4. Fill: Add 2–3 tablespoons of filling near the center (don’t overfill).
5. Roll: Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, fold in the sides, then roll tightly.
6. Seal: Brush the top corner/edge with water or beaten egg and press to seal.
7. Heat oil: Warm 1–2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet/pot to about 350°F (175°C).
8. Fry: Fry egg rolls in batches 2–3 minutes per side, turning until golden brown and crisp.
9. Drain: Remove to a paper towel-lined plate or rack to drain.
10. Serve: Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce (spicy mayo, ranch, or a creamy Cajun dip).
Notes
Make-ahead: Prepare the filling up to 24 hours in advance and store covered in the fridge.
Air fryer option: Lightly brush or spray egg rolls with oil and air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway.
Baking option: Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping once, until crisp and golden.
Heat control: Use mild sausage and reduce Cajun seasoning for a gentler spice level.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer for best crispness.
