Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Wooden skewers
Instructions
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Wash and dry the potatoes. Do not peel.
- Insert a skewer lengthwise through the center of each potato.
- Using a spiral cutter or a sharp knife, carefully cut the potato into a continuous spiral, keeping it attached to the skewer.
- Gently spread the potato slices along the skewer to create a spiral effect.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Brush the potato spirals evenly with the oil mixture.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through. Alternatively, fry in hot oil until golden and crisp.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can double-fry them. Fry once until lightly golden, then fry again until deep golden brown.
- Experiment with different seasonings like chili powder, onion powder, or rosemary.
- These are a fun alternative to regular french fries and a great addition to any meal or party spread. Consider them a fun way to plan your meals for a party.
