Ingredients

• 5 pieces Large potatoes
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 as needed Olive oil cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters for easier boiling.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the potatoes. Boil for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and let them cool for about 5 minutes. Then, mash them until smooth and let them cool completely to room temperature.

Step 4

Once cooled, add the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to form a smooth dough.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Take a portion of the dough and roll it into a small ball (about the size of a golf ball). Flatten it slightly with your hands to form a round shape about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 7

Using a straw or the tip of a wooden skewer, poke two holes near the top third of the circle to form the eyes.

Step 8

With a spoon, carve a smile shape under the eyes to complete your smiley face design.

Step 9

Place the smiley faces on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with olive oil cooking spray.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the smiley faces are golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Step 12

Enjoy your delicious and fun low-fat smiley face potatoes!
