      Title: SPICY SWEET POTATO WON TONS
 Categories: Appetizers
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
  1 1/2 lb Sweet potatoes
      6 tb Minced fresh ginger
      1 c  Chopped cilantro
      6    Serrano chiles, seeded,
           -minced
    1/2 ts Salt
     32    Round won- ton wrappers
      1 c  Canola oil
 
  Bake potatoes in a 375 degrees oven for 1 hour, or until very soft.
  Cut in half and scrape flesh into a bowl. (You should have about 2
  cups.) Add ginger, cilantro, chiles and salt; mix well. Place 1
  tablespoon filling in a won-ton wrapper. Brush a little water around
  rim of wrapper, fold in half (forming a half- moon); press edges of
  won ton together to seal. Set aside on waxed paper and cover with a
  damp towel. Repeat until all the won tons are filled.
  
  Pour oil into a wok; place over medium-high heat until oil sizzles
  when a drop of water hits it. Reduce heat to medium and, using tongs,
  slip a few won tons at a time into the oil. Fry for 1 minute, or
  until won tons are golden and slightly puffed. Turn and fry 30 or 40
  seconds. Remove to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining won
  tons. Serve hot.
  
  Serves 8 as an appetizer.
