Awesome pictures! Wow. I was surprised by the tornado potato. It actually tasted good. I hope you are well. i'm planning on coming to NYC for a day trip, hopefully we can meet
Love those spiral fried potatoes on a stick. I had them for the first time at shwarma shops in South Africa about 6 years ago... I later saw them in a couple of other countries (again at shwarma shops). The best thing was that they had many different seasoning powders in shakers -- from sour cream & onion to spicy curry to whatever -- and you could shake your choice onto your potato stick
Holy God! I love that potato swirly thing! And that hot dog?? Hells Yea!!!!
Second "deep fried food on a stick" was the french fry-encrusted battered hot dog topped with a squiggle of ketchup. I tracked it down more out of a necessity than want; it sounded too excessive to pass up. Like the Tornado Potato, I found this gem somewhere in Myeongdong, at a stand that was also selling tteokbokki, non-french fried hot dogs on sticks, fish cake-wrapped hot dogs on sticks, and fried dumplings. The FFEBHD was easily the least appetizing thing there. On top of that, I had unfortunately come down with some sort of nauseating sickness that morning and didn't have an appetite
Suggested accompaniment: an OJ shake-up from the Curly's Fries stand at Schellenger Avenue just a couple blocks north Remember the tornado potato? That strange spiral-cut potato that's skewered and deep-fried? The street-food treat found in Seoul, South Korea? It did a whirlwind tour of the web in 2007, when the blog Superlocal posted a photo of it. (And, yes, we blogged it, too.) The vendor took a Tornado Potato fresh out of his oil vat then rolled it in powdered cheese before handing me what was basically a really long potato chip. But a freshly fried potato chip. On a stick! Crispy + carby + fatty = delicious. Get your own spiral cutter to make them at home. (If you look at that site, you'll see hot dog dogs wrapped in Tornado Potatoes. I can't believe I didn't see anyone in Seoul doing that.)
First "fried thing on a stick" was the Tornado Potato, a swirl-cut potato wrapped around a long stick and deep fried. Although this snack isn't limited to South Korea, the first I ever heard of it (and seemingly most of the Internet) was when I read Seoul-based blogger Superlocal's post about it.
Tornado Potatoes -- new street-food from South Korea. It's a spiral-cut potato, deep fried and dusted with tangy cheezy powder. Yes, it's unhealthy, but the Koreans have a long way to go if they're going to bridge the US-Korean junk-food gap -- hello, deep-fried Coca-Cola! Get that potato some whipped mayo and maybe some rat-poison (or plutonium) and we'll be in business. Link (via Neatorama)
Some people might be a bit concerned with the healthiness of the snack. But I'm heartened. It's a whole potato, spiral cut and fried. My guess would be that it's dusted in front of you, and if you picked salt and pepper, you wouldn't get the weird hydrogenated oils that are in cheesey sprinklings. Whole, fresh food simply prepared can't be beat. Sure, you might be better off with a carrot, but you'd be worse off with McDonald's fries. And I'd guess the tornado potato gives fries a solid run for their money in the taste department.
Spring potato (tornado potato - is a new name) was initially invented in South Africa way over a decade ago. This concept has been further developed and spring potato machines along with the full product range including the mouth-watering flavour salts can be bought globally. The salt range is due to be released in shakers for retail.
Tornado Potato, Tornado Fries, Pic. This is the newest way to get fat. You can not grow a tornado potato. All you have to do is get a spiral cutter and put a potato through it. Put it on a stick, then fry it up nice and golden crispy. You end up with the leaning tower of tornado potato goodness.

There are few things more appealing than french fries — unless you count food on a stick. Combine the two, and you get the artery-clogging, mouth-watering Tornado Potato that is the hit of state fairs nationwide. The spiral-cut potatoes are skewered and deep fried, their rings cascading down the length of the stick.
"One of the beauties of them: The way that they're cut, they actually stick to the stick that they're on, so you can pull a piece off at a time," Richard Crossley, co-owner of Tornado Fries on the boardwalk in Wildwood, N.J., tells Robert Siegel. "So, you can take your time munching on them." The delectable dish had to cross oceans before making its way to the Wildwood boardwalk. Two years ago, a picture of one from South Korea began circulating on the Internet and sparked the imagination of fried-food fans everywhere
Crossley says he loved the concept and the visual; his love for potatoes also helped, he says. "But the idea for me was to franchise it, and we've already had a lot of interest in that," he says. "I expect to have stores all over South Jersey on the boardwalks next summer based on the success that we've had so far."
He says his establishment sells two sizes of the spiral-cooked potato: 18 inches and 26 inches. One of the problems of the larger size, he says, is that the stick sometimes bends under the weight of the potato. That, of course, does little to deter customers. "People love that, obviously, because people like things on a stick," Crossley says. "The bigger the stick, the more impressive

It looks like the tornado potato has finally made it Stateside. It'll be available at the Minnesota State Fair this year (August 27 through Labor Day), but I caught sight of one this week on the boardwalk in Wildwood, New Jersey, which is basically all state-fair food all the time (at least during the summer tourist season
ReplyDeleteCalled "Tornado Fries" here in Wildwood, it's the same thing the South Koreans have had for a while now—an entire potato spiral-cut on a stick and fried. The one we tried was interesting and tasted like a cross between sautéed potato slices and fries. They're available with an array of toppings, including barbecue, cheddar, nacho cheese, Old Bay, ranch, and salt and vinegar, among others
