Back to a time with lunch tables, food trays and tiny milk cartons. If you were a \"hot lunch kid\" growing up, there's a strong possibility that you were served smiley fries like these from the cafeteria line on more than one occasion (along with some of these other popular cafeteria recipes<\/a>).\r\n\r\nToday, you can find a similar version of these iconic school lunch items<\/a> in the freezer section of the grocery store, called McCain Smiles<\/a>. However, they're just not quite the same as the potato smileys of yesteryear. Luckily, we have a copycat potato smiley recipe to share that's crispy on the outside and perfectly fluffy on the inside.\r\n

With just one bite, these happy little potatoes are guaranteed to put the biggest grin on your face\u2014and your tummy. And if you love smiley fries, you'll also enjoy these other recipes for french fry lovers<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
