Potato Smileys

Potato, Cheese, Flour, Oil

Potato smileys are soft, cheesy potato bites shaped into fun faces — a playful finger food toddlers love from around 10 months. Made from boiled potato, cheese and a little flour, they're crisp outside and fluffy within. Bake or pan-cook until golden, then cool and serve in safe pieces.
