furthermore, some important and critical recommendations for a perfect potato smiley recipe. firstly, i have used corn flour to make it crispy and crunchy, but potato starch can also be used for the same result. secondly, i have deep fried the potato smiley to crisp, alternatively it can also be baked. bake the smiley in a preheated oven at 180ºC for 15 to 25 minutes. lastly, the potato smiley can also be shaped to any desired shape and deep fried or baked.
