    Mostly I eat as less meat as possible, simply because I don’ t like the taste of chicken anymore. I am a big fan of potato and peas, and I especially buy them on a weekly basis. Some times however those darn, and delicious potatoes tend to get a bit too soft, and if you are like me, I am just not a fan of really soft sweet potatoes. I was not going to let those potatoes get soft on me this time around, and that when I decided to make an attempt at stuffing them inside of crispy roll wrappers and see if they would turnout. Whoa! I love me some Crispy rolls, but now I really, really love them, especially these Spicy Potato Rolls!

    Spicy Potato rolls are the very easy tea time  snack which take little time to make. Potatoes and peas cooked with spices make up the stuffing of these potato rolls. These rolls were extremely easy to make and took no time at all. They were crunchy and tasty and went really well with the Apricot Chutney. My whole family really liked this simplest time time snack.
