Potato Bacon Wontons with Saucy Mama Mustard Dipping Sauce

Potato Bacon Wontons with Saucy Mama Mustard Dipping Sauce

I’m happy to say that I was one of the 25 bloggers chosen to compete in the Saucy Mama’s Sliced Recipe Contest! I love the way that they have structured the contest. It’s kind of like the show “Chopped” where each round has a secret ingredient. The first round of the competition is the Appetizer… and the secret ingredient is Bacon.

When I received my Saucy Mama Mustards; Saucy Mama Dill Mustard, Saucy Mama Hatch Chili Mustard, and Saucy Mama Creamy Garlic Mustard, I immediately opened each one and tasted them. Oh my, they’re all so delicious! I couldn’t wait to get started.

3 Saucy Mama Mustards

I decided to use the Creamy Garlic Mustard for the appetizer round. After experimenting around with several different appetizers, my family unanimously voted on the Potato Bacon Wontons. So, here’s my Round One appetizer recipe using Saucy Mama’s Creamy Garlic Mustard.

Place 1 to 1 ½ teaspoons of the potato mixture in the center of wonton.
With a small brush put a little water all around the edges of the wonton (or you can use your finger).
Put the two opposite points together, and seal the wonton all around, creating a triangle shape.
Continue with as many wontons as you want to make at this time.

Notes: This is a great way to use your leftover mashed potatoes. If you don’t eat bacon you can just leave it out.  I think a little cheddar cheese in these wontons would also be fantastic! Don’t have apricot jam… substitute strawberry.
