3 lbs. Potatoes I used a red potato, but any potato can be used.
Oil I used avocado oil for this recipe.
Seasoning See notes on different spices to use. I kept it simple with just salt and pepper.

Preheat the oven to 400° F.
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Clean the potatoes and insert a skewer into the end of the potato.
Press the skewer all the way through the potato to the other side.
This works the best by holding the potato on a cutting board and pushing the skewer down through the potato.
Place the potato on a cutting board on it's side.
With a pairing knife, start at one end of the potato, insert the knife and slowly rotate from one end to the other as you cut, making the spiral.
It will be hard to keep a consistent size, but each slice should be about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
Once done, gently spread the spirals out on the skewer and place them onto the baking sheet.
Brush potatoes with oil and sprinkle with your choice of seasoning.
Place the potatoes into the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until soft.
Remove from the oven and serve hot.

There is no limit to the different seasonings that can be sprinkled on these potatoes!
