Ingredients

Scale

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.
