SPIRAL POTATOES RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas 5.
  2. Carefully insert a metal skewer lengthwise into the end of the potato and gently push it all the way through.
  3. Using a sharp knife, make a small cut at one end of the potato until you hit the skewer, then carefully twist the potato round to continue the cut all the way along, creating a spiralised effect.
  4. Gently pull out the spirals to ensure even gaps along the length of the skewer, and brush well with 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
  5. Finely grate the Parmesan into a bowl, then add in the paprika, cumin, garlic powder and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Sprinkle the mixture over the potato spirals and line up on a baking tray. Bake for 50 minutes, or until cooked through and crispy.
  6. To make the dip, place the yoghurt in a bowl, finely zest over the lemon and squeeze in half the juice, then mix well. Season to perfection.
  7. Finely grate a little extra Parmesan over the potato spirals and serve with the zesty yoghurt for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Stir together the butter, olive oil, chives and some salt and pepper in a small bowl.
• Place a potato between the handles of 2 wooden spoons or 2 chopsticks. Slice the potato into thin slices, leaving 1/4 inch at the bottom unsliced; the spoon handles will prevent you from slicing the potato all the way through. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and brush on the butter mixture, making sure to get in between all the slices. Bake until tender and crisp, 55 to 60 minutes.
