[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Nothing beats strolling round a food market. Picking bites, sipping pints and effortlessly eating in the sun. Though these days aren\u2019t far away, here’s a recipe that\u2019s a real storm on a skewer that\u2019ll keep you going until you can make it to the Holy Grail of casual eating.<\/p>\n

Using British Waxy potatoes, Tornado Potatoes are a fun treat perfect for garden barbeques, camping cookouts (more on that below) or when you just can\u2019t be bothered with a knife and fork.<\/p>\n

Make them even easier with a potato spiral cutter (which you can find here<\/a>). They taste just as good made without \u2013 so if you don\u2019t have one, give it a go and improve your knife skills at the same time!<\/p>\n

Tornado Potatoes<\/h2>\n

Makes: 2<\/p>\n

Cook time: 45 minutes<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 floury potatoes<\/p>\n

3 tbsp olive oil<\/p>\n

60g pre-grated parmesan cheese<\/p>\n

2 skewers<\/p>\n

Step 1: Preheat your oven to gas mark 3\/165C\/145C fan. If you\u2019re using a spiral cutter, head straight to step 2. If not, lightly prick the potatoes all over, then microwave for 1 min until slightly softened.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Use your spiral cutter to spiralise and then carefully push the skewer through the potato from the top to bottom. If you\u2019re using a knife, skewer the whole potato, starting at one end before starting to slice through at an angle. Rotate the potato and continue to cut til you’ve sliced a spiral shape round and down its length.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Gently pull the potato apart to separate out the layers.\u00a0 Brush olive oil over the potato coating all the layers, then sprinkle with the grated parmesan.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Repeat with the second potato, then add both to a rimmed baking tray. The skewers should rest on the side of the tray and suspend the potatoes. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.<\/p>\n

Twirled up a storm?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now slather your Tornado Potatoes with three of our favourite toppings.\"\"<\/p>\n

The Triple Cheese One<\/h2>\n

Melt 15g butter in a pot over a medium heat. Once melted, add 15g flour and stir with a wooden spoon for 1 min or until a sandy paste forms. Add 175ml milk gradually, then whisk for 5 min or until a smooth, thick sauce remains. Stir through 30g grated mature cheddar cheese and 30g gruyere until melted. Serve drizzled over the cheesy tornado potatoes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

The Fully Loaded One<\/h2>\n

Fry up bacon lardons in a hot pan until crispy. Sprinkle over the cheesy tornado potatoes with a dollop of sour cream and a generous sprinkling of chopped chives.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

The Spicy BBQ Vegan One<\/h2>\n

When making the tornado potatoes switch pre-grated parmesan for a mix of \u00bd tsp cayenne pepper, mixed with 1 tbsp smoked paprika. Once cooked, drizzle with vegan mayo and bbq sauce.<\/p>\n
