    There are multiple ways to make potato smiles. You can easily bake, grill or fry as per your choice. Here are some common questions that people ask;

    How to Make McCain Smiles at Home? 

    People love Mccain smiles as it's super tasty and crispy in taste. Making Mccain style smiles at home is simple and easy. For this, you can bake your smiles in oven at 180 degree or gas mark 4. It will almost take 15 to 20 minutes to get a light golden brown color.

    Can I Make Potato Smiley in Microwave?

    Yes, you can make in the microwave too but your microwave should be equipped with grill and convection.

    What is the Normal Temperature for Frying the Smiles?

    I feel fried potato smiles are much more crispy and juicy from inside. You can simply fry at 180 celsius. If you will fry on extra high temperature then it will burn out.
