5. On floured surface, cut each sheet of pastry into four squares.
6. Then cut each square in half corner-to-corner making 16 triangles.
7. *I like to use my fluted-edge pastry wheel for this, but a pizza wheel works just fine, too.
8. Overfill each jalapeno half with potato mixture, and wrap each with a strip of prosciutto, place onto wide ends of pastry triangles and roll up towards pointed end.
9. Place pointed end-down back onto lined baking sheet.
10. Bake in 400 degree oven for 12-15 minutes until golden.
