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!

TORNADO POTATOES RECIPE - (4.4/5)
Provided by Nanasjoy
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Insert a skewer into the potato and gently push the skewer all the way through it. Hold a sharp, thin knife at an angle and cut in the opposite direction you are turning the skewered potato. Gently fan out the potato down the length of the skewer, until you have an even gap between the slices forming the spiral. Melt the butter and brush it all over the potato. In a medium bowl, combine parmesan cheese, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Place the skewered potato over the bowl and shovel the mixture all over the potato until it is entirely coated. Rest potatoes on a baking sheet so that it is hovering over the bottom of the sheet. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until nicely browned. Garnish with additional parmesan and parsley. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes are the best choices for tornado potatoes. They are firm and hold their shape well during the spiraling and frying process.
- Use a sharp knife or a mandoline to create the spiral cuts: This will ensure that the potato slices are even and consistent in thickness, which will help them cook evenly.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the potatoes: The ideal temperature is between 325°F (165°C) and 350°F (175°C). If the oil is not hot enough, the potatoes will absorb too much oil and become soggy.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the potatoes: This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy. Fry the potatoes in batches if necessary.
- Season the potatoes after they are fried: This will help the seasonings stick to the potatoes and give them a more flavorful taste. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
