Crispy Potato Chickpeas Smiley Fries

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Smiley Fries is very yummy. I normally end up making couple of dishes over the weekend and freeze the ones that I can, to use later in the week. We love to eat mashed potato pancakes every now and then.

One of the weekends ago, when we made these potato cakes, we were left with some mashed potato, so I decided to whip up something quick for my little fussy eater.

My son loves to eat the packaged Potato Smiley Fries bought from store. But it’s been a while since we got those, and I had been thinking of trying them at home sometime. Looking at the mashed potato leftovers, I got a perfect excuse.

It looked like they would be tricky to make, but nope. They were surprisingly easy. To make them a wee bit healthy, I added mashed chickpeas. It was purely experimental, I wasn’t sure how the texture was going to be, but they came out really good.

Plus, chickpeas are a great source of protein, fiber, manganese and folate. So why not? Right?

Other ingredients you’ll need for these smileys are cornstarch, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper! I sometimes add quarter of a cup of cheese, but to this version I didn’t. You can add potato starch instead of cornstarch.

These crispy potato chickpeas smiley face fries are so delicious yet healthy. My little picky eater was super delighted and couldn’t keep his hands off these fries, and I ain’t complaining. He also wanted little hearts, along with smileys, so we made little hearts as well. He even helped with some.

We enjoyed these potato chickpeas smiley fries with ketchup and cilantro jalapeno dip. That green dip in the pictures, that’s cilantro and jalapeno dip. Do let me know if you want the recipe for that dip. I’ll be happy to post. It’s super easy to make though!
