Skewered Potato Twisters
- 2 yellow potatoes
- 1 tablespoon 15 ml olive oil
- 1 teaspoon 2.5 grams smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon .75 grams garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon 1.5 grams sea salt
- 2 tablespoons 8 grams finely chopped fresh parsley
- Preheat grill to 400 degrees F/200 degrees C.
- Wash potatoes (leaving skin on) and place metal skewer through the center of each.
- Using a small, sharp knife, make a cut at one end of the potato until you hit the skewer. Then hold the knife at a slight angle and slowly turn the potato to make one continuous cut down the length of the potato. This will create a spiral effect. Note: Aim to make each turn about 1/4-inch thick.
- Gently loosen up and fan out the potato into a longer spiral on the skewer. Brush the outside & inside of the spirals with olive oil.
- Mix together the paprika, garlic powder, and salt and sprinkle on the potatoes.
- Grill (with cover closed) for 30 minutes, turning every few minutes.
- Drizzle with any remaining oil and sprinkle with parsley.
