Homemade Smiley Fries

Directions

1. In a large bowl, stir together potatoes, breadcrumbs, cornstarch and seasonings until smooth. On a lightly floured surface, roll out mixture to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-in. round cookie cutter, re-rolling scraps. Using a drinking straw, poke 2 circles into each round for eyes. Then, use a spoon to make a mouth.
2. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1/2 inch of oil to 350°. Fry rounds, face-side down, a few at a time, until golden brown, 1-2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels; sprinkle with additional salt to taste. Serve warm with optional sauces.
