DIY Chips on a Stick: The Viral Potato Hack Everyone is Talking About
If you’ve ever indulged in the popular "chips on a stick" at events like the Royal Easter Show or music festivals, you’ll be thrilled to know that a delicious DIY version is taking social media by storm. The snack, also known as potato twisters or tornado potatoes, involves spiraling a whole potato onto a skewer, frying it to crispy perfection, and seasoning it to taste. However, at around $10 a pop, many are seeking budget-friendly alternatives.
Dasha (@daria.shark) has gained significant traction on Instagram, amassing over 18 million views for her creative video tutorial. In it, she demonstrates how to easily replicate this beloved snack at home. Using a bamboo skewer, Dasha inserts it into a whole potato and uses a box grater to twist and spiral the potato into the perfect shape. This simple yet effective method allows for cooking options that include the oven, air fryer, or even a classic campfire, making it an ideal choice for outdoor gatherings.
According to Dasha, she stumbled upon this hack while exploring easy camping recipes that require minimal effort and ingredients. “What I love most is how quick and versatile it is,” she explains. The positive response on social media has been overwhelming, with users praising the hack and expressing excitement over trying it themselves. One user declared it a "game changer," while another commented, "Great idea."
Aussie creator Huw Ward (@superhuwman) joined the trend, humorously likening the experience to a visit to the Melbourne Show and suggesting the use of low-carb potatoes for those watching their diet.
