Korean junk-food (Tornado Potato)


 Korean junk-food


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. 

You can cut these potatoes into any length spiral. The standard spiral chips we sell in South Africa are with the 20cm bamboo skewers, any length skewer will work, as long as it is 5mm thick. For a hungry client, with money to spend, the chipdog option is becoming the favourite.


These commercial potato cutters cut the tornadoes on the skewers, so there is no need to transfer the potatoes after cutting a tornado potato into a twister shaped chip/money maker.

  1. The conspiracy to make us fat extends even to the layout of supermarkets which lead us to focus on the fast, less healthy food rather than the produce we all know we should concentrate on.Please sharing......
