Cut Curly Fries

Transform potatoes into curly fries with a spiral slicer.


With the right tool, you can turn potatoes and sweet potatoes into curly fries. Vegetable slicers are common kitchen tools that can be used to create curly cuts out of potatoes, apples and just about any other hard fruit or vegetable that you want to transform for lunch or dinner. Grab a bag of fresh, dense potatoes and turn your home into a joint serving the best curly fries in town.


Instructions


1. Wash your potatoes and pat them dry. Place a potato onto the metal plate located at the end of your spiral slicer's handle. Press the potato gently onto the raised rivets on the plate to secure the potato in place.


2. Slide the slicer handle unit forward toward the cutting blade until the other end of the potato touches the plastic shield at the tip of the blade. Take your hands off the potato and ensure that it stays in place.


3. Place a small bowl at the end of the slicer past the blade where the cut potato exits the machine. Gently begin to turn the hand crank on the spiral slicer, pushing the potato through the blade. Watch as spiraling strands of potato fall out of the other side of the blade. Perform about four rotations and then cut the potato strands with a pair of kitchen scissors. Repeat this process until the entire potato is cut. Perform all steps with more potatoes until you have the desired amount of curly fries you need.
