Air-Fryer Tornado Potatoes (Print Version)

Spiral-cut potatoes on skewers, air-fried until golden, served with flavorful seasoning and optional toppings.

# What You'll Need:

→ Potatoes

01 - 4 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed

→ Seasoning

02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

→ Optional Toppings

07 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
08 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
09 - 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Insert a long wooden or metal skewer lengthwise through the center of each potato.
02 - Holding the skewer, slice the potato in a spiral motion using a sharp knife, rotating from one end to the other. Stretch the potato gently to achieve even spaces between spirals.
03 - In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
04 - Brush or rub the seasoning mixture all over each spiraled potato, ensuring it reaches between all layers.
05 - Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
06 - Place the skewered potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other.
07 - Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, turning skewers halfway through, until potatoes are golden and crispy.
08 - Optional: Sprinkle hot potatoes with Parmesan, fresh parsley, and chili flakes prior to serving.
