Allergy Friendly Homemade Smilies

Allergy Friendly Homemade Smilies are gluten and dairy free. Serve as a side with your favorite dips and main meals. These are so easy to make your kids can help too. The main part is similar to making mashed potatoes but you just don’t leave them like that you make them into a patty and put a smile on them and fry. 🙂

How to make the recipe allergy friendly

This recipe calls for flour and milk, so I used

  • Gluten Free all purpose flour – so that the potatoes can hold shape.
  • Dairy Free Milk – to mash the potatoes.

You can also add dairy free butter instead of the oil, if you like.

Crispy Allergy Friendly Homemade Smilies

  • To make the smilies crispy use corn or rice starch instead of the flour.
  • Another way is to coat with gluten free bread crumbs before frying.

What seasoning to use

I have only used salt and pepper but garlic powder, a little bit of red chili powder can also be used to give the smilies a little more flavour. You can also use your favourite herbs.

Shaping the allergy friendly homemade smilies

It is very easy to shape the fries. You will need a small straw and a tablespoon. First you need to mash the potatoes and season them, then take a tablespoon of the mash, shape it into a patty. Make sure the patty is 1/2 cm thick with thick edges or it will break.

Then with the help of the straw make the eyes, making sure you leave some space from the edges or again it may break. Then with the tablespoon put in the smile.

Cooking the allergy friendly smilies

I like my fries deep fried, any other way just does not give the same flavour but these smilies can be baked or air fried.
