Actually it’s “twisted taters”. I went to my very first Air Force football game this past weekend and was surprised to encounter such yummy smells in the air. Besides the standard hot dog and burger stands, they also offered cinnamon roasted almonds, a copy cat “dippin’ dots”, hot chocolate and my favorite… twisted taters, among other things.

I wish I had been brave enough to pull out my camera at the concessions area to show you how these things are made. They have a small hand power drill rigged to a table where the potato guy sticks a potato, skin and all. The thing spins super fast against a cutting blade and when it’s all finished, they throw the potato pile into a fryer. You end up with basically a really cool looking string of potato chips. They as much fun to look at as they are to eat. There was also the option to add chee and or chili (just like their curly fries), however I opted to try them plain on the first go.

Look at this huge box of food! I walked away feeling like I got a bargain for my buck… then I sat down with the rest of the family only to find 1 potato doesn’t last long at all.

So delicious.
