Crispy Tornado Potatoes are spiral-cut potato fries baked to a crisp edge with a fluffy center, perfect as party finger food and easy to customize.

  • Total Time: 40-45 mins
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large Russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • Dip of choice: aioli or ketchup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash potatoes and trim ends. Use a mandoline or tornado cutter to shave potatoes into spirals around a stick, keeping the core intact.
  3. Lightly brush with olive oil and season with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake 25-30 minutes, turning once, until edges are crispy and centers are tender.
  5. Garnish with parsley and serve with your preferred dip.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, pat the potatoes dry before oiling and bake on a wire rack over the sheet.
  • Cut in advance and refrigerate; bake when ready for a quick, weeknight snack.
  • Try parmesan dust halfway through baking for a cheesy variant.
