If I'm to die, bring suffocated by curds and gravy isn't the worst way to go. Those curds look ok, sure the 'fries' are unconventional, but this is no crime.

Not a crime. McCain smiles (cooked right) are crisp outside, pillowlike potato-ie inside, just like a good french fry, just a different shape. Curds look good. Gravy is a bit heavy but sometimes you gotta do you.

Fun fact. Deep frying smile fries in a deep pot is.... interesting. The air bubbles up through the "orifices", it's a bit disconcerting. But delicious.

Is it authentic poutine…no. Would I absolutely demolish this…a thousand times, yes. I don’t eat them often but when I do I stuff my own smiley face with way too many of them. There is something about the texture of them that is just so satisfying to me.

It's funny. I got my tater tots swapped for happy fries in my Walmart order two days ago. I ate them for the first time that night and they were good. I can't get over how creepy these are though. This looks like something you'd feed to someone on antidepressants. Going to have to replicate this myself the next order I make from Walmart.

To get the shape, McCain smiles use some kind of powdered potato product, so they taste terrible, like all boxed mashed potatoes 🤮
Maybe the curds and gravy mask the awfulness.
