It’s National Potato Day!

To celebrate I am sharing a new recipe for a fair inspired dish.
Potato Tornadoes are one of my favorite fried fair foods so I decided today to make a healthier, flavor packed, baked in the oven version. You are going to love this simple side dish!
Happy National Potato Day!
 If you are a carb lover like me then you are going to love all the recipes we are sharing today.
Thank you to Valentina from The Baking Fairy for organizing this event!

Baked Tornado Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 4 small-medium potatoes {I recommend Yukon gold}
  • oil for basting
  • 1/4 cup seasoning blend of choice

Instructions

  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes before they go in the oven.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Skewer potatoes and use a knife to spiral cut them by holding the knife at an angle and rotating the potato to make spiral slices {but not cutting all the way through}.
  • Gently stretch the slices along the skewer.
  • Brush potatoes all over with oil then cover with seasoning.
  • Place on a lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, flipping over half way through.
  • Serve warm with ketchup or sour cream for dipping.

Notes

You can use any potato but I found small/med potatoes like Yukon Gold and Red are easier to cut and spiral. Large baker potatoes were much harder to skewer and cut thin before baking. Also if you use a larger potato adjust your cooking time accordingly.

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes before they go in the oven.

Skewer potatoes and position in the center of each skewer.

Now use a thin knife to spiral cup the potatoes.

Hold the knife at an angle and rotate the potato to make spiral slices
{but not cutting all the way through}.

Gently stretch the slices along the skewer.

Brush potatoes all over with oil.

Now cover with seasoning. I like garlic salt blends, barbecue maple, or lemon pepper.

Place on a lined baking sheet.

 Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees, flipping over half way through.

Serve warm with ketchup or sour cream for dipping.

    These look fantastic! I love how they are spread out a big so each slice gets so crispiness!
