Instructions
 

  • Preheat the deep fryer to 350°F.
  • Clean each potato thoroughly, ensuring there are no dirt or impurities.
  • Using an apple corer or spiral cutting the potatoes by hand, create spiral shapes.
  • Skewer each potato, inserting the stick through the center, and fan out the layers along the stick.
  • Place the skewered potatoes into the preheated deep fryer, ensuring they are fully submerged in the oil.
  • Occasionally rotate the potatoes while frying to ensure even cooking and crispy texture.
  • Deep fry the potatoes for approximately 3-5 minutes, or until they reach the desired level of crispiness.
  • Once cooked, carefully remove the potatoes from the fryer and place them on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
  • Immediately sprinkle the prepared toppings, including the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper, over the hot potatoes. Serve the tornado potatoes and enjoy!
