I love Tornado Potatoes. Different resteraunts call them different things but basically it's a spiral cut potato or thinly sliced potato deep fried, seasoned with cajun, barbecue or ranch seasoning, topped with cheese and/ or bacon bits. Really good!
Above are my potatoes that I prepare at home. I scrub a potato (don't bother peeling it) and slice it long ways and wide width as thin as possibe with a vegetable peeler. ( hey, it works for me)
Deep fry them and season with creole seasoning.
We top with cheese, or cheese sauce or nacho cheese sauce from the dollar store. ( they have a nacho cheese sauce in a squeeze bottle at Dollar General that is very close in taste to what our local eatery uses. It's located down their dollar isle. Think it's called Mr. Moo )
Then sprinkle on bacon I cooked and crumbled or we cheat and buy real bacon bits for salads.
Then drizzle with Ranch dressing.
Yummy! Perfect if you are craving take out!
You can experiement with different toppings on these and go for something different say taco or chili for a few starters. Lots of ways to use these. They are great alone. They taste just like potato chips but cheaper!
Happy eating!
