Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the oven

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2
Wash the potatoes

Scrub potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Pat completely dry with paper towels.

3
Prepare skewers

Insert a wooden skewer lengthwise through the center of each potato. The skewer should go all the way through for stability.

4
Create the spiral cut

Place a potato on a cutting board with the skewer horizontal. Using a sharp knife, make a continuous spiral cut around the potato. Start at one end and work toward the other. Cut at a slight angle, going all the way down to the skewer. Maintain even pressure to keep the cut consistent.

5
Stretch the potato

Gently pull the spiral apart along the skewer. Create even spaces between the slices. The potato should extend to about twice its original length.

6
Repeat with remaining potatoes

Repeat the spiral cutting and stretching process with the remaining potatoes.

7
Prepare the seasoning mix

In a small bowl, combine all the seasonings and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly.

8
Prepare the oil

Pour olive oil into a separate bowl.

9
Oil the potatoes

Brush each spiral potato generously with olive oil. Ensure oil gets between all the slices.

10
Season the potatoes

Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over each potato. Use your fingers to ensure seasoning gets between the slices. Turn potatoes to coat all sides.

11
Arrange for baking

Place the skewered potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they're not touching.

12
Bake the potatoes

Bake for 25-30 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through cooking. Potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside. The interior should be tender when pierced with a fork.

13
Prepare the parsley

Wash thoroughly. Chop finely.

14
Final crisping (optional)

For extra crispiness, switch oven to broil. Broil potatoes for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

15
Rest briefly

Remove from oven. Let rest for 2 minutes.

16
Serve

Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Carefully remove skewers if desired, or serve with skewers as handles. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
