The key to bacon broccoli potato spring rolls is the light and crispy spring roll wrapper. The piping hot cheesy potatoes and bacon are protected in the delicate crispy pastry wrapper. Ss you bite into it, the thin spring roll gives way to that amazing potato mixture that practically melts in your mouth!
It took me a long time to find the thin spring roll wrappers. For several years of my life I didn’t understand where I could get them. When I finally did though, I knew the possibilities were endless. Personally I feel like putting potatoes into an egg roll, is too much. But with the thin crispy spring rolls it’s perfect. These rolls are stuffed with potato, broccoli, bacon, and cheese. Just what you want to eat in a potato spring roll!
Make the filling
Cheese, potato, broccoli, bacon, and some sour cream in the food processor. pulse so it’s smooth but a little chunky.
Making the bacon broccoli potato spring rolls
Put your mashed potato goodness into one of the spring roll wrappers. Then roll it up! You need to roll it tight and keep it somewhat thin. You don’t want a super thick bacon broccoli potato spring roll! Make sure at least two layers of paper cover the filling at all points.
Frying the bacon broccoli potato spring rolls
Preheat the oil to 350 and fry for about 5 minutes until golden brown and looking delicious! use tongs or a slotted spoon to put them in and out of the fryer. Sometimes the wrapper can unwrap a bit as it fries, I like to hold them with tongs in the oil for a minute to make sure they stay tight.
Serving the bacon broccoli potato spring rolls
Oh yea! These are really good.
I feel like if they sold these at any sports bar they would be the most popular item. They remind me of a twist on mozzarella sticks.
The broccoli gives the whole thing a nice touch and a little different flavor.
Twists on this recipe
Yes you could skip the broccoli on these bacon broccoli potato spring rolls. I get that not everyone loves broccoli. I do, so that’s why I added it. If you want them to be vegetarian, you could use a fake version of bacon to give them the nice smokey flavor. You could also just do a little chipotle instead.

So, where did you get the wrappers…
These sound so good! I just made some brussels sprout and bacon dumplings so we must be on the same wavelength!
SO SNACKY. These guys sound like the perfect plate of food to set out at a party. They would totally be gone in an instant.
