This dish will interest children who love everything unusual and will surprise adults. It can be successfully served both on a regular day and at a festive meal. If you want to cook a light dinner, it is quite capable of becoming the main course. And for those who like to eat a hearty meal, potato spirals are suitable as an original side dish for meat. In general, the dish is as versatile as it is simple to prepare and effective in appearance.
The most difficult thing in the preparation of this dish is slicing potato tubers into even spirals. Perhaps the first potato will not turn out to be too neat, but after a little practice, you can slice the rest just perfectly.
Ingredients:
- oblong potato tubers of approximately the same size - 4-5 pieces;
- soy sauce - 50 ml;
- vegetable oil - 1 tbsp. l .;
- sweet paprika ground - 2 pinches;
- dried thyme - 1 pinch;
- salt.
Preparation:
Peel the potatoes and rinse under running water to remove any remaining dirt from the tubers.
For cooking marinade in a small bowl, mix the vegetable oil and soy sauce. Add dried thyme, ground sweet paprika and salt to taste. Salt gently - do not forget that there is already enough salt in the soy sauce.
Put peeled potato tuber into the middle of the wooden skewer.
Take a small sharp knife and, moving from one edge of the potato to the other, carefully cut it in a spiral. Do not be afraid to cut the potatoes through - the wooden skewer he is wearing will not allow this. Position the knife slightly diagonally in relation to the potato tuber, and try to make the next turn of the spiral parallel to the previous one, at a distance of 2-3 mm.
When the potatoes are completely cut, set the knife aside and gently stretch the potato helix with your hands on the skewer, moving from the middle to the edges.
Grease each potato helix with marinade. Try to coat the potatoes, not only outside but also inside.
Place the potato spirals on a baking sheet and place in an oven preheated to 180 ° C. Bake for 25-40 minutes (time depends on the size of the potatoes and the characteristics of your oven). In the process of cooking another 1-2 times, brush the potatoes with the remaining marinade.
Put ready-made potato spirals on a dish, decorate with greens and fresh vegetables. Serve warm.
