Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into quarters. Boil them in a large pot of salted water until tender, roughly 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Mash them until smooth and allow them to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cornstarch, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Add the egg to the mixture and mix well until everything is fully incorporated into a dough-like consistency.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out the potato dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
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.
Arrange the smiley faces on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each smiley lightly with oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free potato smiley faces!
