Preparing the Potato on a Skewer00:00:13

To begin, take a potato and carefully thread it onto a skewer, pushing it straight through from bottom to top. This forms the base for the spiral cut.

Creating the Spiral Cut00:00:31

Place the skewered potato on a chopping board. Using a sharp knife, make a careful slice around the potato at a slight angle. Continuously rotate the potato while maintaining the angled cut until you work your way down to the bottom, creating a spiral.

Fanning Out the Spiral00:00:53

After cutting, gently fan the potato out along the skewer. This action stretches the potato into its distinctive spiral shape, making it visually appealing.
