Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil them in a large pot of water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain them well.
Mash the potatoes in a large bowl, using a potato masher or fork, until smooth.
Add the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes and mix well.
Incorporate the bread crumbs, egg, and shredded cheddar cheese into the potato mixture and mix until fully combined.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
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.
Place each smiley face potato onto the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat with the remaining potato mixture until all smiley faces are formed.
Bake the smiley face potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low sodium smiley face potatoes with your favorite dipping sauce!
