THESE HOMEMADE SMILEY FRIES ARE THE PERFECT AFTER-SCHOOL SNACK

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix mashed potatoes, flour, breadcrumbs, cornstarch and egg. Mash with a fork until a dough forms. Season with salt and pepper. Roll dough out between two pieces of waxed paper to ¼ inch thick. Carefully peel off the top piece of waxed paper. Cut out 1½-inch circles, using the rim of a glass. Using the end of a drinking straw, cut out two circles for the eyes; use a spoon to cut out a mouth. Pour canola oil into a large pot to a depth of 2 inches. Heat until it reaches 350°F on a deep-fry thermometer. (Or add a pinch of dough to the oil; when it sizzles, the oil is ready.) Working in batches, cook fries in oil until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; sprinkle with salt. Serve with ketchup.

• Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
