I suggest you try a very tasty and original recipe for spiral baked potatoes in the oven. Spiral potatoes are not difficult to prepare, but they taste divine, not to mention the look. A rosy potato spiral sprinkled with spices will not leave anyone indifferent. An ideal dish for both a festive feast and a regular family dinner. Delight your family and friends with this little culinary miracle. So, I’m telling you how to cook spiralized potatoes at home)))))

Ingredients:

(6 servings)

  • 6 pcs. large potatoes
  • 6 tsp breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1-2 tsp. paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 60 gr. butter
  • long wooden skewers
  • Provençal herbs seasoning
  • grated cheese (optional)
  • To prepare spiral potatoes, we need fairly large and even oblong-shaped potatoes. Wash the potatoes thoroughly with a brush, since we will bake them in their peels, but if desired, the potatoes can be peeled.
  • We pierce each potato through with a wooden stick. To make your work easier, lubricate the stick with vegetable oil (oil reduces friction).
  • Now the potatoes should be cut into a spiral. Of course, people have already come up with special machines for this, but to prepare several potato spirals, such a machine, in general, is not needed; a sharp knife will do the job just fine.
  • So, starting from the edge, cut the potatoes in a spiral. The knife should cut through the potatoes well right up to the wooden stick, make the spiral thickness 3-4mm. If the thickness is made greater, the potato spiral will not stretch well and may break when stretched over a skewer.
  • It’s okay if the first potato turns out not very beautiful, the second one will go much faster and better.
  • To get potatoes into a spiral, carefully stretch the cut potatoes along a wooden stick.
  • Coat all the potato spirals with melted butter and spread generously on the outside and inside.
  • Now let's prepare the spicy topping. Mix bread crumbs, salt, pepper and paprika. Do not confuse paprika with red hot pepper seasoning. Paprika is a seasoning made from red salad peppers; it is not bitter and is used to add color. The amount of salt and spices should be adjusted to your taste. If you like lightly salted and lightly peppered, then reduce the amount of salt and spices.
  • Sprinkle all sides of each spiral potato on a stick. Place on a baking sheet.
  • Place the baking sheet in a well-heated oven. Bake potatoes on skewers for about an hour at a temperature of 200-220°C. The time depends on the type of oven, so we keep an eye on the potatoes and adjust the temperature if necessary.
  • We remove very tasty and aromatic potatoes from the oven in a spiral. If desired, the skewers can be removed or left in, it all depends on the chef’s plan))))).
  • Immediately, while piping hot, sprinkle the potatoes with Provençal herbs, grated cheese and serve. That's all, the spiral potatoes are ready!!! The deliciousness is indescribable!!! Even meat will be superfluous with such potatoes. I also recommend it for lovers of special dishes

What can you cook from potatoes if guests are on the doorstep? Frying is trivial, boiling puree is also trivial... "With taste" presents a recipe for unusually crispy, aromatic potato and cheese snack, which will definitely surprise everyone!

Dough for potato spirals does not contain flour, so it is important to choose a variety with a high starch content. There are two ways to prepare tubers. By boiling them in their skins and then simply peeling them, you will ensure complete preservation of the starch, which is so necessary for the viscosity of the dough. If you prepare spirals from pre-peeled potatoes, add an additional spoon of starch to the dough.

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. 1 Mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Pour in the milk, add cheese, starch, egg, salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly.
  2. 2 Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan. Fill a pastry bag or just a bag with a corner cut off with potato mixture. Press the dough into the hot oil in a spiral shape. As soon as the spiral turns golden, take it out!
  3. 3 Serve the appetizer with various sauces. Ketchup with garlic and basil, homemade mayonnaise with Dijon mustard, sour cream with herbs - choose what you like best, or all at once!

We are sharing with you a photo recipe for potato chips in the microwave. Once at a street food festival, I saw an original potato snack: a potato was spiral-cut and deep-fried on a long wooden skewer. It turned out that these are called “twists” and are very simple to prepare.

Since deep-frying is not very healthy, I bake the twist potatoes in the microwave, so they turn out just as crispy as deep-fried, but much less greasy.
Both regular potatoes and sweet potatoes will work. We will also need a spiral vegetable cutter or spiralizer. You can add spices to your taste.

Ingredients:
- 1 sweet potato,
- 2 tsp. olive oil,
- salt to taste.

Recipe with photos step by step:




Wash the sweet potato or potato and peel it. It is better to choose a potato of the correct elongated shape.





Cut the potatoes using a spiral vegetable cutter. You will get a long spiral ribbon of potatoes.

It is convenient if someone holds a wooden stick in the center while cutting, so the potato will be immediately skewered onto the stick. If there are no helpers, then there is a risk that the potato tape will break.





I ended up with three pieces of chopped potatoes. A whole potato won't fit on one stick anyway, so let there be several servings.





Skewer the sweet potato onto wooden sticks. It will be better to use large diameter chopsticks, such as Chinese chopsticks, rather than thin skewers, then the potato twist can be turned over. On thin skewers, the potatoes dangle and scroll when you try to turn them on the other side.







We straighten the potatoes on the stick so that the spiral does not touch anywhere. Place on a plate with high sides so that only the chopsticks touch it and the potatoes do not reach the bottom. If there is no deep plate, then grease its bottom with oil, otherwise the potatoes will simply dry to the plate.
Season with salt and spray the potatoes evenly with olive oil from a kitchen spray bottle.





Place the potato spirals in the microwave to bake. Baking time depends on the power, on average 4-7 minutes. From time to time you need to take out the potatoes and check them; you can turn the spiral on the other side several times.
The main difficulty is that you need to accurately catch the moment when the potatoes are already baked and become crispy, but still remain soft. Too much time and the potatoes will become too tough. Of course, when deep frying there is no such difficulty, you just need to wait for the potatoes to turn golden brown.





Serve the twist immediately while it's hot. You can sprinkle with sweet paprika or dried garlic to taste.

Also called potato "Tornado". This is a simple but very effective way to prepare and serve potatoes. The easiest way to bake potatoes is to deep-fry them. In any case, it is much easier to prepare than.

For the Tornado potatoes you will need

  • Potato. Small tubers, preferably elongated.
  • Dry spices. There is basil, rosemary, garlic and paprika.
  • Olive oil. 2-3 tablespoons.
  • Salt. Taste.
  • Ground black pepper. Taste.
  • Long skewers. 1 piece/1 potato tuber.

Making potato spirals.

Immediately soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes. It is best if the skewers are hard enough and will not bend under the weight of the potato tuber.

You can use any spices for potato spirals according to your taste; mixtures of herbs - French, Italian or Mexican - work very well.

For those who like spicier dishes, add a little ground hot pepper or chili flakes.

Adjust the amount of herbs and olive oil according to the number and size of potatoes.

Pour olive oil into a small bowl and add all the dried spices, including ground black pepper. Stir and let sit while soaking the skewers.

It is best to select potato tubers that are elongated, regular in shape and approximately equal in size. Peel the potatoes.

We pierce each tuber lengthwise with a skewer.

Using a thin sharp knife, diagonally, starting from the edge, cut through the potato to the skewer. Rotating the tuber, we cut the entire potato in a spiral without removing the knife or tearing it off the skewer.

The distance between adjacent cuts is approximately 5 mm.

Spread the potatoes on a skewer. We do this carefully so as not to break the spiral.

Using a pastry brush, coat the entire potato with the spiced oil.

Place the skewers with potato spirals on a baking sheet so that the skewers rest on the edges of the baking sheet and the potatoes do not touch the bottom.

Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 180ºC for about 40-45 minutes until fully cooked.

You can also deep fry it instead of baking it.
