Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, Korean red pepper, sugar, and ramen seasoning.
- Cut the potatoes into ribboned curls using the ribbon blade on a spiralizer. If you don't have a spiralizer, insert a skewer into each potato and, working in a spiral motion, cut in the opposite direction you are turning the skewered potato, making a thin, even spiral all the way down the potato. A spiralizer is recommended.
- Gather the potato curls together, then wrap each curl around a wooden skewer, spacing out the potato evenly. Set aside to dry for 5 minutes.
- Heat the canola oil in a deep pot until it reaches 350ºF (180ºC).
- Fry the potatoes until golden brown, 3-5 minutes, then drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
- While the tornado potatoes are still hot, season with salt and sprinkle with the cheese mixture.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF (160ºC).
- Microwave the potatoes for 1-1 ½ minutes, then leave in the microwave for a few minutes to cool down and soften. Insert a wooden skewer into the bottom of each potato and gently push it all the way through the top. Working in a spiral motion from one side to the other, hold a sharp, thin knife at an angle and cut in the opposite direction you are turning the skewered potato, cutting all the way down to the skewer. Take your time and work to make thin, even spiral all the way down the potato.
- Gently fan out each potato down the length of the skewer, until you have even gaps between the slices. Brush the melted butter all over the potatoes.
- In a medium bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Place each skewered potato over the bowl and sprinkle half of the spice mixture over each potato until they are entirely coated. Carefully set the potatoes on a baking pan, letting the skewers rest on sides of the pan so that the potatoes are suspended.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until nicely browned. Garnish with additional Parmesan and parsley. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for tornado potatoes because they are firm and hold their shape well when spiralized. You can also use Yukon Gold or red potatoes, but they may be more difficult to spiralize.
- Use a sharp spiralizer: A sharp spiralizer will make it easier to create even, consistent spirals. If your spiralizer is dull, it will tear the potatoes and make them difficult to cook.
- Soak the potatoes in water: Soaking the potatoes in water for 30 minutes before cooking will help to remove the starch and make them crispier.
- Use a high-heat cooking method: Tornado potatoes are best cooked at a high heat so that they can crisp up quickly. You can fry them in oil, bake them in the oven, or air fry them.
- Season the potatoes well: Tornado potatoes are delicious when seasoned with a variety of spices. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
Conclusion:
Tornado potatoes are a fun and easy snack or side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are crispy, flavorful, and addictive. With a little practice, you can make tornado potatoes at home that are just as good as the ones you get from a restaurant.
