Buttery Walnut Potato Chip Cookies

By Kleinworth & Co 10 Comments

Delicious shortbread cookies loaded with mini chocolate chips, walnuts & salty potato chips make these Buttery Walnut Potato Chip Cookies the BEST EVER!

It’s the cookie-baking season! I’m so excited to be jumping on board with 49 other bloggers to bring Taste the USA: Idaho Edition. All 50 of us are bringing you cookies inspired by the state where we live.

Because I live in Idaho, I, of course, had to incorporate what Idaho is known for, the potato into these Buttery Walnut Potato Chip Cookies. Funny enough, I think I heard that Oregon & Washington actually produces more potatoes than Idaho.

This post was originally written in 2016. It has since been updated with additional images and FAQs.

I’ll admit, for me there are few seafood dishes that are quite as delicious as some well-made crab cakes. Sometimes, though, I want that crab flavor in a different form — that’s where this hot crab dip comes in.

Not only does this dip have all of the flavor to fulfill any crabby craving, it’s warm and cheesy, too. Is there anything better than that?

Smoked Venison Roast

At our house we’ll put our smoker to good use at any opportunity we get, from making brisket or turkey to veggies. But since we have an avid hunter or two in our family, we’ve really come to love making smoked venison.

Venison is an extremely lean meat so preparing it well can sometimes require some skill. However, smoking it is probably the easiest way to get the best results — especially for a crowd.

Oven Beef Tenderloin

There are special occasions that call for specific dishes — turkey on Thanksgiving is an obvious one, and ham on Easter is pretty prevalent. When it comes to the Christmas holiday season, in our household an oven beef tenderloin is a must.

That said, we don’t reserve this tasty roast for just holidays either. It’s great for any gathering and I make it for dinner on weeknights, occasionally, too.

This dish works so well because it’s such a flavorful beef cut that very little has to be done to it before roasting. Then, the time that it takes to roast allows me the opportunity to make all of the side dishes I want to go along with it.

When the holiday season sets in, I love settling down in front of some Christmas movies from the tried-and-true classics and the comedies to the popular animated ones like my favorite, How The Grinch Stole Christmas. That’s the inspiration behind these Grinch Christmas cookies.

So many of the top Christmas tales revolve around the evolution of compassion during the holidays but few are as explicit as Dr. Seuss’ tale in which the Grinch’s heart grew three sizes. The animation of his growing bright red heart against the backdrop of his bright green fur can’t help but stick in your head!

The impending onset of the holiday season always calls for whipping up a chocolate chip cookie recipe, of course.

paprika
kosher salt

green onion – thinly sliced
dill pickles – chopped
egg roll wrappers
large egg

Can Air Fryer Cheeseburger Egg Rolls be frozen?

Yes! These egg rolls can be frozen before or after cooking. If freezing before cooking, place the egg rolls on a baking sheet and freeze for about 2 hours, or until solid. Then, transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to 3 months.

To cook frozen egg rolls, place them in the air fryer basket and cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.

What is the best way to reheat Air Fryer Cheeseburger Egg Rolls?

The best way to reheat these egg rolls is in the air fryer. Simply place the egg rolls in the basket and cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5 minutes, or until heated through.

How to Make Air-Fried Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

Add the ground beef to a medium-sized skillet set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often until the meat is browned– about 5 minutes.
Drain the grease and then add the garlic powder, paprika, and salt to the beef.
Stir to combine and then set the browned beef aside until it is cool enough to handle (you don’t want it to melt the cheese)– about 10 minutes.
Add the cooled beef to a large bowl along with the cheese, green onion, and pickles. Stir to combine.
Add about ¼ cup of filling to the center of one egg roll wrapper.
Beat the egg in a small bowl with a splash of water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash around the edges of the egg roll wrapper to create a seal.

Roll and Cook

Roll the wrapper into an egg roll (the same way you could roll a burrito) by folding the bottom point over the filling, then folding the left and right points into the center, and finally by rolling it upward to seal.
Lightly grease your air fryer basket with olive oil spray and add as many egg rolls as will fit. Make sure to place them seam-side down so they don’t explode!
Brush the tops of the egg rolls with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds or flakey sea salt, if desired.
Cook at 400F for 5 minutes. Then flip the egg rolls over and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve warm, with your choice of dipping sauce.
Store any leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the air fryer until warm (about 5 minutes at 375F).

What to serve with Cheeseburger Egg Rolls?

Here are some of our favorite snacks we serve alongside this delicious appetizer!

how to make Air Fryer Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

Tips and Tricks

I used 80/20 ground beef– but you could also use ground chicken or ground turkey if you prefer.
Garlic powder, paprika, and salt help season the meat so it really tastes like a grilled cheeseburger! Feel free to swap 1 tablespoon of your favorite burger seasoning if you prefer.
Cheddar cheese is my classic go-to cheese for burgers so that’s what I’m using here. Feel free to use any cheese you like.
Green onions add a subtle, onion flavor. If you prefer sweet or red onions, feel free to use those instead!
Dill pickles add a bit of acidity and saltiness to help balance out the fat of the egg rolls. Feel free to leave them out or substitute sweet or spicy pickles.
Egg roll wrappers are a thin, wonton-like sheet of dough that you can find near the tofu in most grocery stores! You could also use wonton wrappers for mini egg rolls.
The egg helps seal the egg rolls and creates a crisp golden brown exterior.
You can use relish in place of the chopped pickles.

Can I make Air Fryer Cheeseburger Egg Rolls ahead of time?

Yes! These egg rolls can be made ahead of time and frozen for when you need a quick and easy snack. Simply place the egg rolls on a baking sheet and freeze for about 2 hours, or until solid.

Then, transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to 3 months.

To cook frozen egg rolls, place them in the air fryer basket and cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.

If you’d like to prep them and keep them in the fridge, you can do that too. Just prep and refrigerate. Cook them the next day.

What air fryer do you use?

Small

We actually have 3 air fryers. I have a smaller one from Phillips that we started with. I have since given that to my son since he’s only cooking for 1.

Medium

But the more I used the air fryer I realized I really wanted a digital screen. It wasn’t any more expensive, in fact- our XL air fryer from GoWISE was less expensive than the Phillips and I love its ease & extra functions.

Plus it comes with a lot of the extra accessories I like to use when cooking with my fryer.

Large

But I when I started working on my second air fryer book, I wanted to change things up. I picked up this LARGE air fryer that has been wonderful. It has Touch Screen Presets plus it is XL Family Size, which is great!
