Description

Crispy baked tornado potatoes on skewers seasoned with paprika, garlic, and parmesan for the ultimate crunchy snack or side dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Ketchup or dipping sauce for serving


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes.
  2. Mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
  3. Insert skewers through the center of each potato and carefully slice in a spiral pattern while rotating the potato.
  4. Gently stretch the spirals along the skewers and place on the baking sheet.
  5. Brush the seasoned oil mixture evenly between the potato layers.
  6. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, rotating halfway through cooking, until golden and crispy.
  7. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes and garnish with parsley.
  8. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Soak sliced potatoes in cold water for extra crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking tray.
  • Use a sharp knife for safer spiral cutting.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
