Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients

1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced new potatoes, drained
1 tablespoon Crisco® Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Canola Oil
1/4 cup chopped green chilies
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon curry powder
Dash pepper
2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated reduced-fat crescent rolls
SAUCE:
3/4 cup reduced-fat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Dash pepper

Directions

In a large nonstick skillet, saute potatoes in oil until lightly browned. Add chilies and garlic; saute 2 minutes longer. Stir in the peas, lemon juice, curry powder and pepper. Transfer to a large bowl and coarsely mash.
Separate crescent dough into 16 triangles. Place 1 tablespoon potato mixture on the wide end of each triangle; roll up from wide end. Place point side down 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets; curve ends to form crescent shapes.
Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients. Serve with warm samosas. Yield: 16 appetizers (3/4 cup sauce).
