1 large baking potato, about 10 ounces, peeled and diced
Salt
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Canola or grapeseed oil for frying
6 spring-roll wrappers
1 1/2 teaspoons harissa (chili paste, sold in fancy food or Middle Eastern shops), optional

Place potato in salted water to cover, bring to a boil and cook until tender.

Drain, and mash with olive oil.
3
Heat 2 cups of grapeseed or canola oil in deep 10-inch skillet to 350 degrees.
4
Place spring-roll wrapper on saucer.

Dab it with 1/4 teaspoon harissa if desired.
7
Sprinkle with some capers and parsley.
8
Break an egg into the center.
9
Taking care so that none of the egg seeps out, fold over one point of the spring-roll wrapper to meet the opposite point, to make a triangle.

Cook a minute or so, until golden on the underside, turn over and cook about another minute.
