Tornado Potatoes

Tornado Potatoes (For 3 persons)

Ingredients

6 medium to large potatoes (they should be of about the same size)

20g of grated parmesan cheese

20g of breadcrumbs

Salt and pepper for seasoning

2 tablespoons of olive oil

6 skewer sticks

Procedure

Step 1 : Peel and wash your potatoes .

Step 2: Insert a skewer pick in each potatoes as shown below.

Tip: You may need to tap the skewer stick on your working space (point end up) to facilitate insertion .

Step 3 : Starting on the right hand side (or left hand side if you are left-handed ), gently cut a potato at an angle while rotating it circularly in an anti-clockwise motion. Ensure that the knife reaches and touches the skewer pick while cutting !

Tip: The potato slice should remain of a thickness of about 5-7mm for a soft texture inside and a crispy texture outside. If you prefer only a crispy texture, just ensure that the potato slice thickness is about 2-3mm .

Step 4: Once the knife reaches the other end of the potato, loosen the potato spiral on the skewer stick as shown below.

Step 5: Repeat step 3 and 4 with the remaining potatoes.

Step 6: In a large bowl, add your grated parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, 3 pinches of salt and one pinch of grounded pepper and mix them altogether.

Step 7: Using your silicon brush, brush a thin layer of olive oil on a potato. Eventually sprinkle your potato generously (on all sides) with your breadcrumbs/ parmesan cheese mixture.
