Tornado potato

Tornado potatoes (Korean: 회오리 감자; RR: hoeori gamja) — also called rotato potato, spring potato, twist potatoes, potato twisters, potato swirl, spiral potato, potato on a stick, tornado fries, or chips on a stick (in Australia) — are a popular street food in South Korea, and many other countries. It is a deep fried spiral-cut whole potato on a skewer, similar to a French fry, brushed with various seasonings such as onion, cheese, or honey. Some varieties have spliced sausages in between.

In Australia, tornado potatoes are known as "chips on a stick", as "chips" refers to both fries and crisps in Australian English. They are popular at several events, including agricultural shows and carnivals, such as the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

Spiral cut skewered potatoes are a popular street food in Japan.

Tornado potatoes are a popular street food in South Korea.

In Mexico or places in the U.S. that are predominantly Mexican, these are known as "Espiropapas", which translates to "spiral potato". They can usually be found in places like flea markets and are typically served with ketchup. These were first created in 1997 by Mr Marco Antonio de Avila Espinoza in Guadalajara, Jalisco, and this could be the first appearance of the tornado potato.

In Poland, the fries can be found at beaches and seasonal markets, and can be coated with chicken or pizza seasoning.

In India, they are called "spring potato", "potato swirl", or "potato twisters" and are sold at beaches, food festivals, and by street vendors.
