# What You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 4 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed

→ Seasoning

02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Optional Toppings

07 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (omit for vegan)
08 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
09 - 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes

# Directions:

01 - Insert a long wooden or metal skewer lengthwise through the center of each potato.
02 - Hold the skewer firmly and, using a sharp knife, slice the potato in a spiral pattern by rotating it as you cut from end to end. Carefully stretch the potato on the skewer to create space between spirals.
03 - Combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and ground black pepper in a small bowl.
04 - Brush or rub the seasoning evenly over each spiraled potato, ensuring coverage between the layers.
05 - Set the air fryer to 375°F and preheat for 3 minutes.
06 - Arrange the skewered potatoes in the air fryer basket without touching. Air-fry for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until potatoes are golden and crisp.
07 - Optional: Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and chili flakes before serving.
