Instructions

Boil the potatoes in salted water.

Drain and add all the spices, breadcrumbs, parmesan, and cornflour and mix well till it forms a soft dough. (I found that I needed to add more breadcrumbs to form a firmer mixture).

Wrap the mixture in cling and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.

Once cooled, place on a piece of greaseproof paper.

Shape (I used my hands) into a large thickish circle.

Cut small rounds and form the face.

Use a straw to poke holes for the eyes and a spoon to shape the smile.

Brush with oil and bake at 180C / 350F for 20-25 minutes until brown or fry in oil on the stovetop.

Serve with your choice of sauce and enjoy!!

Recipe Card powered byTasty Recipes

Health-conscious people can bake the Smiling Potatoes in the oven instead of deep-frying them.

You can make Potato smiley faces from leftover mashed potatoes or use instant or ready-mashed but the best would be real fresh potatoes, but it’s up to you to decide which will work for you.
