Could there really be a new potato sensation just around the corner? Surely after the French fry, potato chip, potato skins, twice-baked potato, potato pancake, hash browns and tater tots, we have seen and tasted everything that can be done to a potato, right? Wrong! Turns out the spud has one more trick up its sleeve. Get ready to fall in love all over again.

You'll Need (for 4-5 servings):

• 17.5 oz boiled potatoes
• 3/4 cup grated parmesan
• 1 egg
• 3 tbsp milk
• 1 tbsp corn starch
• salt
• pepper
• oil* (for frying)

Here's How:

1. Mash the potatoes with a fork in a large mixing bowl.

2. Mix in all the remaining ingredients from parmesan to pepper.

3. Mix vigorously until the mixture has a smooth consistency.

4. Spoon the potato purée into a piping bag.

5. Heat oil in a deep frying pan (c. 1.5 inches) and pipe the potato purée into the oil in a large spiral shape. 

6. As soon as the spiral has turned a golden brown you can remove it from the oil with a strainer ladle. 

7. The potato mixture should make 4 or 5 giant curly fries, depending on how big you make them.

8. Choose your favorite condiment (e.g. ketchup, aioli, ranch dressing) for dipping and go for it!
