5 maris piper potatoes, roasted in the oven in skins until soft
100 grams plain flour
2 tablespoons corn flour (to thinken sauce if needed)
4 tablespoons breadcrumbs
2 egg yolks
2 litres vegetable oil
Steps
Ketchup
Make the ketchup by placing the tomatoes and onion on a baking tray.
Season, drizzle with oil and place into an oven at 210C for 25-30 minutes until heavily roasted.
Transfer to a blender or hand blender safe container, add in the umami paste and blend. If it's a little thin, add some corn flour dissolved in water to thicken.
Smiley Potato Faces
Place the cooled cooked potato through a ricer and add enough flour, egg yolk, salt & pepper, and breadcrumbs so that it forms a dough-like consistency.
Turn out onto floured parchment paper.
Place another piece on top and roll out until it's about a centimeter thick.
Use a cutter to cut out circles and a straw to remove the eyes. Cut a smile using a spoon and then transfer these into the oil heated to 180C until golden and crisp.
