These are deliciously creamy in the center and crispy on the out side. If you buy a larger bag of the pepitas than needed freeze them because they will go bad. I had a combination of sweet and Yukon gold left over so that is what I used. Do not crowd the pan if you are frying them. If you do not want to fry them you can bake them in a very hot 375/400 oven till they are all golden brown. I cooked only ½ of this mixture and I got 24 so depending on how big or small you make them will determine what the yield is. This mixture freezes well.
