PARMESAN TORNADO POTATO

Everyone is going to be enchanted by the swirls of these amazing crispy baked Tornado Potatoes!
I've had many times these skewer potatoes all around Europe, but I know they are pretty popular all over the world. It's so amazing that you can easily make them at home!
You can cut them in spiral only using a knife, you don’t need any slicer cutter machine, just follow the tutorial in my recipe video below!
Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan Cheese) and paprika match perfectly with potatoes and the breadcrumbs give them an incredibly crispness. You can also add your favourite seasoning like garlic or onion powder. Be creative!

Tips:

For a perfect cut, use a sharp knife and make thinner slice as you can for bake the potatoes evenly.

I’ve seasoned them with paprika, black pepper and pink himalayan salt, but you can add every seasoning do you prefer: garlic powder, rosemary…free your imagination!

To check if your potatoes are done, use a fork! If the slices are fork tender, they are perfectly baked. Consider to bake them for more time if your slices are thick.
