Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Insert a wooden skewer lengthwise through the center of the 1 large potato, pushing all the way through.

  2. Step 2

    Using a sharp knife, cut the potato at a slight angle, rotating the skewer as you go, to create a continuous spiral. Aim for thin, even slices, about 1/8 inch thick.

  3. Step 3

    Gently push the spiral down along the skewer to separate the slices slightly, creating a spring-like shape. Pat dry with paper towels.

  4. Step 4

    Brush the spiral potato all over with the 2 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle with the 0.5 tsp salt, 0.25 tsp black pepper, and 0.5 tsp paprika.

  5. Step 5

    Place the skewer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the potato is golden brown and crispy on the edges, and a fork easily pierces the center.

  6. Step 6

    Let cool for 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy hot as a fun snack or side dish.
