Instructions
- Wash and dry the potatoes, then skewer them on the wooden sticks from the tip down.
- Cut them in a continuous spiral, turning around the stick and not cutting through the base, to make a tornado.
- Gently spread the slices apart to aerate them and sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Heat the oil to 180 °C and fry the potatoes for 6 to 8 minutes, turning them, until golden.
- Drain on kitchen paper and immediately sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, paprika and chilli.
- Serve lukewarm with a mayonnaise-ketchup sauce on the side.
Variations and tips
Cheese version. Sprinkle with powdered cheese as soon as they come out of the fryer for a richer taste.
No-fry version. Brush the spirals with oil and bake at 200 °C for 25 minutes, turning halfway through.
