Baked spiral potatoes
Potatoes are clearly the perfect accompaniment that pleases the whole family. Mashed, au gratin, or fries, they delight young and old alike. Today we offer you a recipe for baked potatoes in the shape of spirals, which will go perfectly with meat and fish. To have this pretty shape, nothing could be simpler, no need for a machine, just a wooden stick and a very sharp knife! We chose to bake them in the oven for a crispy result on the outside and soft on the inside :-)
Ingredients
Materials
- Wooden sticks
- Baking tray
- Parchment paper
- Knife
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Wash the potatoes and stick a wooden stick into each potato, so that the potato is in the center of the stick.
Using the knife, begin to cut the potato in a spiral. From one end to the other, without interruption, to obtain a continuous spiral. The trick is to twist the stick as you cut. Gently pull apart the slices to open the potato.
Brush them with melted butter (or olive oil). Then season with salt, pepper and paprika to taste.
On a baking sheet previously covered with parchment paper, put them in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 15 minutes (depending on the size of the potato, this time may vary).
Take them out of the oven and serve them still warm!
