Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean countertop. Using a spoon, place small dollops of the potato and ricotta mixture about one inch apart on the wrapper.
3
Using a brush or your fingertips, lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water to create a seal.

Carefully place a second egg roll wrapper on top of the first, aligning the edges. Press down gently, pushing out any air pockets to form a tight seal between the wrappers.
5
With a pastry cutter or ravioli cutter, cut the stacked wrappers into squares, creating ravioli. Repeat the process until all the filling is used.

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and add a drizzle of olive oil. Carefully drop the ravioli into the boiling water. Cook until they float to the surface and are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
