Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Unsalted bread crumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Low sodium cheddar cheese, shredded
Directions
Step 1
Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil them in a large pot of water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain them well.
Step 2
Mash the potatoes in a large bowl, using a potato masher or fork, until smooth.
Step 3
Add the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes and mix well.
Step 4
Incorporate the bread crumbs, egg, and shredded cheddar cheese into the potato mixture and mix until fully combined.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 6
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into your hands and roll it into a ball. Flatten it into a disc shape and use a straw or small tool to make two eyes, and a spoon to make a smile shape.
Step 7
Place each smiley face potato onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining potato mixture until all smiley faces are formed.
Step 9
Bake the smiley face potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 10
Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low sodium smiley face potatoes with your favorite dipping sauce!
