INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon baking powder, optional
• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup butter
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

DIRECTIONS

1. Move an oven rack to the middle of the oven.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and baking powder.
3. Working in batches, place the chicken wings in a plastic bag along with the spice mix, and toss to coat well. Place the coated wings in a baking dish. Once all the wings are coated in the spice mix and placed in the baking dish, drizzle the olive oil over the wings. Bake for 45 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, over low heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and parsley and stir until the garlic is fragrant; about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
5. When the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the wings and then sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese. Return to oven and bake for 5 minutes, until the wings become crispy and brown.

Tornado Potatoes

Feb 2, 2025

Crispy potatoes on a stick! Spice them up, or load them up, for a fun hands on snack.

INGREDIENTS

• 4 wooden or metal skewers
• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• Oil, for frying
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, optional
• Fresh parsley, chopped, optional
• Dipping sauce, optional: sour cream, ketchup, or garlic aioli

DIRECTIONS

1. Wash and dry the potatoes. Insert the skewer through the potato and push the potato to the center of the skewer.
2. Hold the skewer in one hand and using a sharp knife, carefully cut the potato into a ¼-inch thick spiral. Start at the top of the potato and cut at an angle, continuing to twist the potato as you slice to create a continuous spiral to the bottom of the potato. Working from the middle gently pull the potato slices apart along the skewer to create space between the spirals without breaking them.
3. In a bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Sprinkle the mixture over the spiraled potatoes before frying.
4. Deep-fry at 350°F for 4-5 minutes on each side or spray with oil and air-fry at 400°F for 18 minutes, flipping once in between.
5. Sprinkle with finely grated Parmesan and parsley, load them up with bacon, cheese, sour cream and guacamole, or serve with dipping sauces, if desired.
