I would imagine you can freeze them and then deep-fry. The potatoes are already cooked so that would make the most sense. Frying them first would add a bunch of oil that would soak in.

My nephew loves potato smiles and we buy them premade but i was wondering could someone make these in a large batch and freeze them? if so would one freeze them before frying or after frying? sorry if this question seems silly.
