DIY Potato Twisters Take Social Media by Storm
As food trucks and festivals continue to delight patrons with creative snacks, a viral DIY version of the iconic chips on a stick, also known as potato twisters, is capturing the attention of home cooks. This twist on the classic fried potato chip has become popular for those wanting to recreate the experience at home, especially given the average price of around $10 per snack at events.
Dasha (@daria.shark) recently shared a captivating tutorial on Instagram that amassed over 18 million views. Her video showcases a simple method: inserting a bamboo skewer into a whole potato and using a box grater to spiral the potato into a visually appealing shape. Dasha recommends cooking the spiraled potato in an oven, air fryer, or even over a campfire for a cozy outdoor treat.
"I discovered this hack while experimenting with camping recipes that require minimal setup. It’s fun and surprisingly beneficial," she shared with Yahoo Lifestyle. Many viewers have echoed her enthusiasm, calling the technique a “genius cooking hack” as they look forward to trying it. One social media user exclaimed, "This potato hack is a game changer, definitely trying this next time I go camping!”
Aussie creator Huw Ward (@superhuwman) also tested Dasha’s method, humorously comparing it to the flavors found at the Melbourne Show. "Tasted gorgeous, just like a regular potato, but spiralled," he remarked, while suggesting low-carb potatoes for those mindful of their diets.
As summer camping season approaches, fans are eager to take their newly acquired kitchen skill outdoors, bringing the beloved food truck treat home and elevating their outdoor meals.
