How to cook potato spirals. Potato spirals in the oven
Prepare the necessary ingredients to prepare potato spirals in the oven.
Peel the potato tubers with a vegetable peeler or knife. Rinse in water.
Immediately combine soy sauce, a pinch of salt, vegetable oil, ground paprika and a little dried thyme in a bowl - literally a pinch. You can replace it with dried rosemary. If you like garlic flavor, then pass a couple of washed and peeled garlic cloves through a press into the bowl. But if you are preparing spirals for children, then it would be best to serve garlic oil on the table after preparing the dish, so that adults can dip the potato slices in it.
Place the washed and peeled potatoes on a wooden skewer vertically.
From one end, start cutting through the potato tuber to the middle with a sharp knife. Don't be afraid, you won't cut it entirely, since it contains a skewer - the knife will cut through to it. The main thing is to see the previous slot and cut parallel to it slightly obliquely. Practice on the first potato - the rest will go “like a carbon copy” evenly and neatly. When you finish cutting, you need to carefully stretch the cutting to the sides from the middle, distributing it over the skewer.
Coat each piece with the prepared marinade outside and inside.
Place the pieces in a mold and bake for about 25 minutes at 180 C. In the middle of cooking, brush the potato spirals with marinade again.
As soon as I saw a photo of this dish, I immediately went looking for the recipe! And is it possible to pass by such an original thing?
Potato spirals in oil can have different consistencies - from thin, spicier and crispy "snack" ones to plump and calm-tasting side dishes, like mine. I think who cares what is closer, you can figure it out for yourself.
The amount of ingredients in my recipe is enough for about 6 spirals. Serving per person - 2-3 spirals. Delicious both warm and cold. I don’t recommend trying them hot out of the heat - they’re just out of deep frying, and you’ll easily get burned.
We need 400 gr. raw starchy (easily boiled) potatoes, 1-2 eggs (depending on size), 2 tbsp. flour, salt and pepper to taste. Plus, of course, water for boiling potatoes and oil for frying, the amount of which depends on the size of the frying pan. For this reason, I took a very small frying pan.
Peel the potatoes and cook until tender (a knife can easily pierce the potatoes).
Remove the potatoes from the water and mash them into as smooth a puree as possible.
Add eggs, flour and seasonings, stir the dough, if there are a lot of lumps, pound it a little more with a pestle.
Heat the oil. The bottom of the pan should be covered by about 1 cm.
Place the potato dough into a seeding bag. Keep in mind that the dough will swell slightly when deep fried compared to the thickness you press out. If the hole width is less than 1 cm, such spirals are beautiful, but they easily break during the extrusion process.
Fry the spirals on both sides in boiling oil. By the time of the revolution, the spiral should be golden in the lower part; this can be clearly seen from the side.
Once the potato spirals have reached the color you want, take them out of the pan and let them dry from excess oil.
Bon appetit!
We were just talking about the widespread use of fast food outlets and the fact that customers now need to be attracted not just by food, but by interesting, unusual ideas. This business idea is to sell fried potatoes. But not standard French fries, but in the form of a figuratively designed spiral. These potatoes look very appetizing and tasty. And the most important thing for us, entrepreneurs, is that you can organize a business selling shaped potato chips with minimal investment.
Why are spiral fries so popular? First of all, it looks beautiful, unconventional and fun. Secondly, this is an absolutely fresh product from natural raw materials, prepared immediately before sale. Thirdly, fast food, in particular fried potatoes, is always popular among children, youth, and adults too. Fourthly, the buyer has the opportunity to add spices to his taste. And fifthly, a point selling spiral-shaped potato chips can be placed anywhere, including in crowded places, which will certainly ensure high sales and, accordingly, a good income.
How to open a point selling spiral fried potatoes. It’s very simple - purchase ready-made equipment on a turnkey basis. Such equipment consists of:

You can also buy a spiral potato slicer separately. Its cost starts from $100. Most devices are equipped with a counter for chopped potatoes, which will allow you to control hired employees. It is impossible to reset the counter without a special key. The air fryer can also be purchased separately for $100.
Profitability of business ideas for frying potatoes. The cost of 1 unit of the finished product is from 50 rubles. At the same time, the cost of 1 tuber of raw potatoes is 2-3 rubles. Thus, this profitability can be about 300%, taking into account the rental of retail space, the cost of equipment and wages of an employee. To minimize initial costs, you can work on your own until customers learn about your location and sales reach a high level.

When the potatoes are cooked, drain the water. Crush the potatoes with a potato masher.
Add egg to potatoes.
Mix the mashed potatoes thoroughly. Grate the cheese on a fine grater and add to the mashed potatoes.
Mix the mixture well, add flour, salt and seasoning.
Mix the mashed potatoes well; the consistency will be quite thick, like eclair dough.
Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
Heat the vegetable oil well in a frying pan. Place the potatoes in the form of a spiral into hot oil (there should be enough oil so that the spirals are almost completely immersed in it).
Fry potato spirals until golden brown on medium heat on both sides.
Place the finished spirals on a paper towel, then transfer to a plate and serve. These are the golden and delicious spirals of mashed potatoes that we got. They are delicious served with ketchup or tartar sauce.
