Step 1
Mix ricotta, cheddar, grated potato, minced onion, and caraway seeds in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Lay a wonton wrapper flat. Place 1 tbsp filling in the center. Wet edges with water, fold into a triangle, then bring corners together and seal.
Step 3
Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling until you have 16 pockets.
Step 4
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pockets in batches and cook until they float, then 2 minutes more, until tender inside.
Step 5
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high until golden and fragrant, ~2 minutes.
Step 6
Add pockets and pan-fry until edges crisp and brown, ~90 seconds per side. Serve hot with a drizzle of brown butter.
