Air-Fryer Tornado Potatoes

Spiral-cut potatoes air-fried with savory seasoning. Crispy, fun-to-eat snack or side with veggie and gluten-free variations.

# 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 (omit for vegan)

08 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

09 - 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Insert a long wooden or metal skewer lengthwise through the center of each potato.

02 - Holding the skewer, use a sharp knife to cut the potato in a spiral motion, rotating the potato as you slice from one end to the other. Gently stretch the potato along the skewer to create even spacing between spirals.

03 - In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

04 - Brush or rub the seasoning mixture evenly over each spiraled potato, making sure to coat between the layers.

05 - Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes.

06 - Place the skewered potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch. Air fry for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp.

07 - Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and chili flakes, if desired, before serving.
