Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the potato dough stick when I roll it?

The potatoes are too moist. Add a little more cornflour, or chill the dough for 15 minutes. Rolling between two sheets of butter paper also helps.

Can I freeze potato smiles?

Yes. Freeze the cut shapes on a tray until firm, then store them in a zip-lock bag. Fry them straight from frozen on medium heat.
