Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and cut the potatoes into quarters. Boil them in a large pot of salted water until tender, roughly 15-20 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Mash them until smooth and allow them to cool completely.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cornstarch, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 4
Add the egg to the mixture and mix well until everything is fully incorporated into a dough-like consistency.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Step 6
Lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out the potato dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Step 7
Use a small round cookie cutter to cut out circles from the dough. For the smiley face effect, use a straw to poke two holes for the eyes and a spoon to gently carve a smile.
Step 8
Arrange the smiley faces on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each smiley lightly with oil.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free potato smiley faces!
