Red chili powder - half tsp
Oregano - quarter tsp (optional only)
Cornflour - 4 tbsp
Salt

PREPARATION
- Boil the potato with skin and then discard the skin. Grate it and then mash well. Grating before mashing helps to avoid lumps if any.

- Now add the cornflour and shape it into a dough. You can add more cornflour if the dough is more sticky (only if required).
- Keep it in the refrigerator for half an hour.
- Now make small balls out of that dough and flatten each ball (must have minimum thickness). Keep it over a butter paper to avoid stickiness.
- Using a straw or pop stick, make two eyes. With a spoon, make the smile. (As i do not have any straw, i used cake pop stick for making eyes)
- Heat oil and when hot, deep fry these smiles until golden and crispy on a medium flame.
- Drain it to a tissue and serve hot with ketchup.
