Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0 for frying vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and cut the russet potatoes into cubes for easier boiling.
Step 2
Place the potato cubes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes.
Step 5
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or fork until smooth.
Step 6
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with cornstarch, gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and baking powder. Mix well until the dough forms.
Step 7
Lightly flour a clean surface with gluten-free all-purpose flour.
Step 8
Roll out the potato dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 9
Using a round cookie cutter, cut out circles from the dough. For each smiley face, use a straw to cut out two eyes and a spoon to carve a smile in each circle.
Step 10
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 11
Fry the smiley face potatoes in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 12
Place the fried smiley faces on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 13
Serve the smiley face potatoes warm, with your choice of dipping sauce.
