TIPS &TRICKS
To make the spiral into individual rings, use a knife to cut through one side of the
cored and sliced produce.
Apples and potatoes that are firm, symmetrical, and blemish-free work the best.
For best results use only small to medium sized apples and potatoes. Very large
produce may have undesirable results.
Avoid using soft produce. Soft produce will not peel well and will not stay in place
on the fork.

4 Medium potatoes, shoestring cut
½ cup Chopped onion
¼ cup Chopped green peppers
1 tbsp. Fresh snipped parsley (or ½
tsp. dried parsley)
⅛ tsp. Onion salt
⅛ tsp. Garlic salt
1 tbsp. Olive or canola oil
Pepper to taste
Microwave the potato strings for 2 minutes or bake at 400°F (204°C) for 15 minutes.
In a frying pan, heat the oil and brown the onions. Add potatoes and all other
ingredients, except parsley. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the
potatoes are crispy on the outside. Add parsley just before serving.
Deep Fried Shoestring Potatoes
Vegetable Oil for Deep Frying
2 - 3 Large potatoes, shoestring cut (about 2 pounds)
Salt, Seasonings, or Herbs
Cut potatoes into shoestrings and soak in a bowl of room temperature water. Spin
them as dry as possible in a salad spinner. Spread them on towels and blot.
Potatoes should be dry so they don’t spatter in the hot oil.
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium heat until the
deep fry thermometer reads 365°F (185°C).
Increase the heat to medium-high. Working in batches, carefully add the potatoes to
the oil and fry until brown and crispy (about 4 minutes). Scoop the fries from the oil
with a slotted spoon and drain in a pan lined with paper towels. Repeat with the
remaining potatoes, making sure the oil returns to 365°F (185°C) before each batch.
Season with salt, seasonings or herbs of your choice.
Oven Baked Shoestring Potatoes
2 Large potatoes, shoestring cut (about 1 ½ pounds)
3 tbsp. Olive oil, plus more for baking sheets
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Peel and cut the potatoes into shoestrings. (You can do this up to four hours ahead.
To prevent discoloration, place cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water in the refrigerator
until ready to use, and gently pat dry with paper towels.)
Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Lightly coat two baking sheets with oil. Toss
together potatoes, 3 tablespoons of oil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Dividing evenly
among prepared baking sheets, arrange potatoes in a single layer.
Bake, turning potatoes a few times and rotating sheets halfway through, until crisp
and golden brown, about 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a large piece of
parchment paper or paper towels and let cool for 5 minutes. Season with salt and
pepper and serve.
