Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large russet potatoes
- 1.5 litres Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Wooden skewers
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
Instructions
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Optionally, you can peel the potatoes if desired, but leaving the skin on provides a rustic texture.
Insert a wooden skewer lengthwise through the center of each potato.
Using a sharp knife, start cutting from the top of the potato in a spiral fashion, making sure the knife reaches the skewer but does not cut it. Rotate the potato as needed to maintain a consistent spiral cut. Gently pull the potato apart to spread the spirals evenly along the skewer.
Place the vegetable oil in a large, deep pot or a deep fryer and heat to 350°F (175°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to make the seasoning.
Carefully lower each skewered potato into the hot oil and fry for approximately 10-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Using tongs, remove the potatoes from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Immediately sprinkle the hot potato twisters with the seasoning mixture, ensuring each spiral is evenly coated.
Garnish the potato twisters with chopped parsley for a fresh flavor and serve them while hot and crispy.
