How to cut a Spiral Potato

How to cut a Spiral Potato

Ingredients

Small Potatoes, scrubbed
Skewers
Sea Salt
Oil for deep-frying

Method

Cut one end of the potato and put the cut side on a cutting board. 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. As illustrated in my video, you will see that as I am turning the potato anticlockwise with my left hand, I am cutting the potato all the way through with my right hand in clockwise direction.

After the slicing the whole potato till it touches the skewer, gently fan-out the potato until you have an even gap between the slices that gives you the spiral.

Then, proceed to deep-fry the potatoes. Drain the potatoes on a paper towel, and season lightly with some sea salt. Serve immediately.
