Ingredients
Potatoes & Preparation
- 2 large Potatoes
- 12 Wooden Skewers
Cheese & Seasoning
Frying
- 2 cup Oil for deep frying, vegetable or canola oil
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
- Pierce each potato lengthwise with a wooden skewer. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a spiral into the potato, working from top to bottom, keeping the cuts thin and even, down to but not through the skewer.
- Gently fan out the potato slices to create even gaps between them. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
Fry the Potatoes
- Heat the oil in a large, deep pot or wok over medium-high heat. Carefully place the prepared potatoes into the hot oil, ensuring they're fully submerged. Fry for 7-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the potatoes from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Add the Cheese and Seasoning
- While the potatoes are still hot, sprinkle generously with salt, then evenly top with shredded cheese.
- Immediately sprinkle with paprika and black pepper. The heat from the potatoes will help the cheese melt.
Serve
- Serve the cheesy tornado potatoes immediately. Enjoy as a delicious snack or appetizer!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Cheesy Tornado Potatoes
- For extra crispy potatoes, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before cutting and frying.
- Use a high-smoke-point oil like canola or vegetable oil for deep frying to prevent burning.
- Don't overcrowd the pot when frying the potatoes; this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy potatoes. Fry in batches if necessary.
- Experiment with different cheeses and seasonings to customize your tornado potatoes! Try adding garlic powder, onion powder, or other herbs.
