Forget the ever-cheerful potato smileys of your youth, as there are two new products to whack in the oven for tea that are guaranteed to give you an even bigger hit of nostalgia - shaped to resemble some of your favourite childhood crisps.

Iceland has introduced Space Raiders and Hula Hoops frozen potato shapes, both of which sound like an absolute shout.

According to New Foods UK, the Space Raiders shapes will officially be available in stores from 12 April, and come in either Pickled Onion or Beef flavour - although some shoppers appear to have been able to track some down already.

Both flavours are already listed on the Iceland website in 680g bags costing £1.50, with a notice saying they're 'coming soon'.

"New Space Raiders frozen Potato Shapes are coming to Iceland 12th April," an announcement on the New Foods UK Facebook group said.

The post has since racked up more than 2,000 reactions, 10,000 comments and 5,000 shares, suggesting they're going to be a popular choice.

One person commented: "I love the crisp but definitely gunna have to try these."

Another person wrote: "F***ing hell I bet they are tasty."

A third said: "Beef flavoured potato. Wtf is this madness! Sign me up."

Seeming less convinced by one particular flavour, another added: "Pickled onion potato shapes I'm not sure but the beef ones definitely yes."

And the Space Raider shapes aren't the only ones you can buy, as Iceland has also released two Hula Hoops versions, too.

This time, they come in four different flavours: BBQ Beef, Original Salted, Cheese and Onion and Salt and Vinegar.

A post on the New Foods UK Instagram page, which credited the photo to Instagrammer @slimmingwithsoraya, said: "New Hula Hoops Frozen Potato Shapes! Iceland stores are now selling these & they come in 4 different flavours!

"BBQ Beef, Original Salted, Cheese & Onion and Salt & Vinegar! Some stores have already got these out, but they are officially launching on 12th April, so keep your eyes peeled!"

One person commented: "Feel like these should always be in the freezer ready for emergency dinners."

Another Instagrammer said: "What a great invention!!!!!"

Currently, the Original Salted and BBQ Beef flavours are listed online for £1.50 for 650g.
