- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Optional: Additional seasonings such as chili powder, dried herbs, or grated cheese
Directions Air Fryer Tornado Potatoes:
- Set the air fryer’s temperature to 400°F (200°C) to preheat it.
- Get the potatoes ready: Give them a good wash and pat dry with paper towels.
- Form the tornado shape: Using a spiralizer or a sharp knife, cut each potato lengthwise in a spiral pattern, beginning at the top and moving continuously around.
- Soak the potatoes: Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least half an hour to help them crisp up and get rid of extra starch. Drain the potatoes and use paper towels to pat dry after soaking.
- Season the potatoes: Combine the paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and olive oil in a bowl. Add any other seasonings you choose. Coat the potato tornadoes equally with the spice mixture by tossing them in the basin.
- Cook the potatoes: To ensure uniform cooking, place the potato tornadoes in the air fryer basket, allowing some room between them. Cook, tossing the basket halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Serve: Take the air-fried tornado potatoes out and serve them hot. Savor it as an accompaniment to your favorite dishes or as a snack.
