Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Spiral Potatoes on a Stick (Tornado Potatoes)
Spiral potatoes on a stick, often called tornado potatoes, are a fairground favorite: a whole potato cut into a long crispy ribbon and seasoned until every curl catches the heat. In the air fryer they crisp up with just a little olive oil.
A Parmesan dusting and fry seasoning make them taste like a snack-stand treat. They are fun for kids, game days and parties.
