How to Make Tornado Potatoes Spiraled Snack
  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) or heat the deep fryer to 175°C (350°F).
  2. Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water, scrubbing away any dirt.
  3. Insert a long wooden skewer lengthwise through the center of each potato, ensuring it's secure.
  4. Cut each potato in a spiral motion with a sharp knife, rotating the potato as you cut.
  5. Combine the olive oil or melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
  6. Brush this flavorful mixture over the potatoes for even coverage.
  7. Bake the skewered potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 25–30 minutes or fry for 3–5 minutes until crispy.
  8. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, if using. Serve immediately with dipping sauces.
