Easy Twisted Potatoes

Potatoes are delicious! But the way to cook them, fried potatoes or French fries for instance, is often too greasy…

It’s a shame because you’ll love to eat more potatoes in the evening at home or prepare them when you invite friends or family. It’s the safer choice for a side dish: everybody loves them!

So, here’s the solution: a nice and easy way to cook healthy potatoes, full of new flavors and with a gourmet look.

2 potatoes

2 barbecue sticks

20 grams of Parmesan cheese

1 table spoon of smoked paprika

1 coffee spoon of pepper

20 grams of melted butter

Tools: 1 knife and 1 cooking brush

-> Captain’s tip: heat your oven before to 170 °C (340 °F) to finish earlier!

Choose one side of your potatoe and put your barbecue stick inside, screw it to the other side.

Your knife must remain motionless. Use your hand to turn the potatoe and cut it as if you draw a spiral.

-> Captain’s tip: the barbecue stick helps you, while cutting, to stop your knife at the very good moment to obtain a perfect spiral at the end.

With one hand at each side, stretch the potato carefully.

With the cooking brush, add generously some melted butter on every inch on the potato (even inside the twist).

-> Captain's tip: butter will help the mixture to stick and the potato to have a nice golden color.

Marry all your flavors: cheese, paprika and pepper for example. Cover the potato with the mixture as if you put a pinch of salt, but this time be very generous !

30 minutes will be necessary to cook your twisted potatoes (170 'C or 340 'F) with a good convection oven (45 minutes otherwise).

When cooked, remove slowly the stick.

You’re free to add other flavors like herbs.
