Parmesan Tornado Potato Recipe

This Parmesan tornado potato recipe by How Tasty on YouTube is so easy and simple because it only requires a sharp knife to create the spiral effect. This is a cool way to make potatoes fun and different to eat. The breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese add nice crispiness to the potatoes. I feel like the spiral effect makes me want to eat the potatoes more. This is a great and innovative idea to make at home because I’ve seen these at the fair and I want one every time I go. However, it’s so much cheaper to make these at home.

Ingredients:

• 6 yellow potatoes, well washed (also, double the ingredients to make more)
• 3 tablespoons Parmigiano Reggiano (or Parmesan Cheese), freshly grated
• 2 tablespoons Bread Crumbs
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• Black Pepper, freshly grounded
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Pink Himalayan Salt
• Parsley, fresh
• 6 skewers

Directions:

First, in a medium bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, paprika, black pepper, and set aside. Insert a skewer into the potato and push the skewer all the way through it. Use a sharp knife and start cutting at an angle in the potato. Make sure to cut in the opposite direction that you’re turning the skewer. Continue to watch How Tasty tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details.

Next, brush olive oil all over the potato. Spread the Parmesan cheese mixture all over the potato until it’s entirely coated. Place the potato on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350F for about 30-45 minutes, and then flip them and bake for another 15 minutes.

I would drizzle ketchup on top of these tornado potatoes, and they remind me of the fair. Also, these are so fun to make and they would amaze the kids with the tornado effect. Serve this with extra salt and add fresh parsley on top.
