Equipment

Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Canola oil for frying
- Optional: Ketchup mustard, and ranch dressing for dipping
Instructions
Step1: Mix The Ingredients:
- In a big bowl, mix together mashed potatoes, flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, onion powder, dry bread crumbs, and garlic powder. Stir until it becomes a smooth mixture.
Step 2: Roll Out The Mixture:
- Sprinkle a little flour on a clean surface.
- Take the potato mixture and roll it out with a rolling pin until it’s about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 3: Cut Out The Shapes:
- Use a round cookie cutter (about 2 inches in diameter) to cut out circles from the rolled-out mixture.
- If you have any leftover scraps, you can re-roll them and cut out more circles.
Step 4: Create The Faces:
- Use a drinking straw to make two small circles for eyes on each round.
- Use a spoon to shape a smile or mouth on each round.
Step 5: Heat The Oil:
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, pour enough canola oil so it’s about 1/2 inch deep.
- Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
Step 6: Fry The Faces:
- Carefully place a few rounds into the hot oil at a time.
- Fry them until both sides are golden brown, which should take about 1-2 minutes for each side.
Step 7: Drain And Season:
- Take the fried Smiley Face Fries out of the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
- Sprinkle them with a bit more salt to taste.
Step 8: Serve And Enjoy:
- Serve your Smiley Face Fries while they’re warm.
- You can dip them in ketchup, mustard, ranch dressing, or your favorite sauce!
Notes
- – For an extra crispy texture, refrigerate the shaped smiley face fries for at least 30 minutes before frying.
- – Make sure the oil is hot enough (around 350°F) before adding the fries to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
- – Experiment with different seasonings like paprika or chili powder to add a kick of flavor to your smiley face fries.
- – If you’re short on time, you can use frozen mashed potatoes but make sure they have minimal additives for the best taste.
- – Serve your smiley face fries immediately after frying for the ultimate crispy experience.
