Inspired by the wontons served at Wonna's Wonton Inn in Ottumwa, Iowa. My husband (who worked at the now-closed Wonna's as a teen) came up with this recipe as a less labor-intensive spinoff that uses garden veggies.

To make the actual wontons, brown the meat mixture, drain, and add the shredded veg (increase cabbage and potato to 1 cup each). Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of a pre-made wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to make a rectangle. Seal the edges with warm water and deep fry in small batches.
