To shape the wontons, work with one wrapper at a time. Add about a teaspoon or two of the potato mixture in the center. Brush the edges with egg wash and then seal and crimp into a triangle. Fold 2 points together, brush with egg and pinch to seal. Continue shaping until all the filling has been used.

Once vegetable oil is hot, carefully add a few of the wontons at a time and fry until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and continue frying the rest.

To make the sauce, stir together the sour cream, garlic, salt, pepper and scallions. Set aside.
