Top with a piece of string cheese and a pinch of oregano--the cheese ends should point in the direction of 2 opposite wonton corners. Brush the edges of the wrapper with beaten egg. Orient the wrapper in a diamond, with the cheese parallel to you. Pull one corner of the wrapper up and over the cheese. Tuck in the side corners and roll the wrapper up like a package, making sure the edges and corners are well sealed. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• Place the egg rolls on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Fill a Dutch with 2 inches of vegetable oil; fit with a deep-frying thermometer. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F.

Steps:

• Combine cooled mashed potatoes, bacon bits, green onions, egg, onion powder, garlic powder in a large bowl and shredded cheese if you are substituting for string cheese). Mix until well combined. Wrap about 3 tablespoons of the mashed potato mixture around each stick of cheese (or you could put in a cup of shredded cheddar into the mixture, or a chunk of cheddar instead of string cheese) trying to ensure it is completely covered (this helps prevent leaks). Lay each egg roll wrapper out with a corner pointing towards you. Place your mashed potato and cheese filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold in the sides and roll the wrapper tightly. Use a dab of water to secure the tip of the wrapper. (If you don't know how to roll an egg roll it usually shows on the package). Note: It is important to make sure the sides of the wrapper are tucked in holding the ingredients in. If they leak, it can cause splattering. Preheat oil to 350 degrees. Fry each egg roll for about 4-5 minutes or until browned and crispy. You could also bake these for 20 minutes on 350. Serve hot with sour cream for dipping.
