Steps
Prepare the garlic confit: Place peeled garlic cloves in a small saucepan and cover completely with olive oil. Simmer over very low heat for about 30-40 minutes until the garlic is soft, buttery, and pale golden. Drain, reserving the oil.
While the garlic is cooking, boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and mash them until smooth. Mix in the softened garlic confit cloves (mash them into the potatoes) and a few tablespoons of the garlic-infused oil for creaminess. Season with salt and pepper.
Fold the shredded smoked gruyere cheese into the warm mashed potato mixture so it begins to melt.
Lay out a wonton wrapper. Place a small spoonful (about 1 tablespoon) of the potato-cheese mixture in the center.
Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with water, fold into a triangle or your preferred shape, and press firmly to seal, ensuring no air bubbles are trapped inside.
Heat about 1-2 inches of neutral oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet or pot to 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)).
Fry the wontons in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and chopped chives to create the dipping sauce.
Serve the wontons hot with the sour cream chive dip on the side.
Notes
The garlic confit oil can be saved and used for roasting vegetables or making salad dressings. Ensure the mashed potato filling is not too wet, or the wontons may become soggy or burst during frying.
