THESE HOMEMADE SMILEY FRIES ARE THE PERFECT AFTER-SCHOOL SNACK

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix mashed potatoes, flour, breadcrumbs, cornstarch and egg. Mash with a fork until a dough forms. Season with salt and pepper. Roll dough out between two pieces of waxed paper to ¼ inch thick. Carefully peel off the top piece of waxed paper. Cut out 1½-inch circles, using the rim of a glass. Using the end of a drinking straw, cut out two circles for the eyes; use a spoon to cut out a mouth. Pour canola oil into a large pot to a depth of 2 inches. Heat until it reaches 350°F on a deep-fry thermometer. (Or add a pinch of dough to the oil; when it sizzles, the oil is ready.) Working in batches, cook fries in oil until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; sprinkle with salt. Serve with ketchup.

SMILEY FRIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Peel the potato and cut into one-inch cubes. Place in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Cut a small slit to vent. Microwave for 5 to 7 minutes until tender. Add the milk to the potato and mash the potato mixture with a fork or pastry blender well. Let cool a bit. Stir in the egg, cornstarch, cheese, breadcrumbs, salt and garlic salt. Mix well. Place the dough between two pieces of wax paper. Press or roll the dough to 3/8-inch thickness. Use a two-inch circle cutter to cut circles. Place the potato circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If the dough is too soft, place in the refrigerator to chill 30 to 60 minutes. Use a straw to make eyes and a small spoon to make smiles on each potato circle. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the tops start to brown.

CHEEZY BAKED SWEET POTATO SMILEY FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 F. Bake sweet potatoes on a baking sheet for one hour or until easily pierced through with a fork and skin is easily removed. Leave oven at the same temperature to use later. Let roasted sweet potatoes stand for a few minutes until easy to handle and no longer steaming. When cooled sufficiently, peel off skin and drain excess liquid or pat dry as much as possible.
• Put soft, roasted, peeled potatoes in a large bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork. Add all the rest of the ingredients for the dough and mix together until a dough forms. Transfer to refrigerator and let cool for at least 1 hour.
• In the meantime, mix together ingredients for "parmesan" bread crumb coating and place aside in a bowl.
• If dough is still too sticky or difficult to work with, add more arrowroot powder 1 tbsp at a time. Take rounded heaping tablespoons of dough, roll into a ball, and flatten into a thick disc. Press both sides into bread crumb mixture and transfer onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, spray oil onto parchment paper. Use a straw to punch two "eyes" into the discs and the tip of a spoon to make a rounded smile. If desired, spray on top with oil as well.Bake smiles at 425 for 30-40 minutes, until slightly browned. Let cool and serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
