ABOUT Potato Smiley Faces... RECIPE

These are everyone's favourite snack including the kids ofcourse. An awesome easy to make snack that is made with just a few pantry staples available in every kitchen. The trick in making these involves 3 important things, one is to boil the potatoes well but not for a long time making them too soft or over boiled. If done so, they tend to absorb more oil while frying. And second is to keep them in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes prior to frying. And last but not the least, fry them on high heat just for a minute or two. As it is, the main ingredient is already cooked. So keep these tips in mind while making them. Happy Frying !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ingredients Serving: 8

Hard boiled potatoes 5
Salt 1 tsp
Ginger garlic paste 1 tsp
Turmeric 1 tsp
Blackpepper powder 1 tbsp
OR
RED CHILLI POWDER 1 TBSP
Cornflour 2 tbsp

Instructions

Mash the par boiled potatoes with a masher.
See to it that these are boiled but not too soft or mushy.
Add cornflour and rest of the ingredients to it.
Mix well and make a smooth pliable dough out of it.
Keep it aside in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Now make small balls out of the dough either with hands or roll and cut into round shapes with a rolling pin using a plastic sheet.
I prefer shaping them with my hands.
Now using a clean straw, make the eyes of the face.
With a spoon, make the smile on each of them.
Keep these in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile heat oil for frying them.
Deep fry these until done on a high heat for 2-3 minutes for each batch.
Drain well on an absorbent paper.
Serve hot with ketchup or any dip of choice.
