Spiral-Cut Crispy Twisters

Ingredients:

• 4 large russet potatoes
• Vegetable oil or peanut oil for frying
• Salt (to taste)
• Seasonings or spices (optional)

Instructions:

1. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Keep the skins on or peel them based on your preference.
2. Using a spiralizer or a mandoline slicer with a spiralizer attachment, carefully cut the potatoes into long, thin spirals, creating the twister shapes.
3. Place the spiralized potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 30 minutes. This step helps remove excess starch and aids in shaping the curls.
4. Drain the potato spirals and pat them completely dry using a kitchen towel or paper towels.
5. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot to around 350°F (175°C).
6. Carefully add the curly potato spirals to the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the fryer. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per batch, or until they turn a deep golden brown and become crispy.
7. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the Spiral-Cut Crispy Twisters from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined tray to drain excess oil.
8. Season the twisters immediately with salt while they’re still hot, ensuring even coverage.
9. Serve the Spiral-Cut Crispy Twisters hot with your preferred condiments or dipping sauces.
