Absolutely fantastic! I loved these samosas. I served them at a party and they were really enjoyed. The leftover (3) that I stashed before guest arrived, tasted almost as good the next day....I microwaved them so I know they would have been better done in the oven. Thanks for posting...a definitelkeeper

Loved these. I served them with Tzaziki sauce and mulligatawny soup. Yum

These were very good samosas. I made mine using wonton wrappers and baked them for about 17 minutes. The only thing that I will do differently next time is to decrease the amount of black pepper (my daughter thought they were too spicy as is.) Great served with mango chutney.

Very good! I used yukon gold potatoes and did mash them with the carrots until; they were quite smooth--I am sorry I didn't do as the instructions say and only mash them slightly. Good spice combination--all in all a very pleasant appetizer.
