Twist Potatoes, also known as tornado potatoes or spiral fries, are a fun and innovative take on
traditional fried potatoes. At Foothills Foods, we've perfected this crowd-pleasing side dish that
has become one of our most popular items. The process starts with selecting quality whole potatoes,
which we then carefully spiral-cut around a wooden stick. This creates a continuous, accordion-like
twist that maximizes surface area.
Once spiral-cut, we deep fry each potato until it achieves a beautiful golden color and that
signature crispy texture. The spiral shape means you get way more crispy edges than traditional
fries – every bite delivers that satisfying crunch. While the potato is still hot from the fryer,
we coat it generously with our savory seasoning blend that adds the perfect salty, umami flavor
to complement the natural potato taste.
Why Choose Foothills Foods Twist Potatoes
What makes our Twist Potatoes special is the combination of visual appeal, texture, and flavor.
They're Instagram-worthy, fun to eat, and absolutely delicious. The spiral format creates more
crispy surface area than you'd get with regular fries, while the potato center stays soft and
fluffy. This perfect contrast of textures is what makes them so addictive – you simply can't stop
at just one.
Our Twist Potatoes pair perfectly with Zilford's Fried Chicken, creating the ultimate fried food
combination. The savory seasoning complements the chicken's spices beautifully, while the different
textures create an interesting eating experience. They're also great on their own as a snack or
appetizer. The convenient stick format makes them easy to eat while walking around or sharing
with friends.
Perfect Side or Snack
Our Twist Potatoes are incredibly versatile. Order them as a side with any of our fried chicken
offerings, enjoy them as a shareable appetizer for the table, or grab one as a quick snack. They're
popular with both kids and adults, making them perfect for family meals. The generous portion and
reasonable pricing make them an excellent value. Available for dine-in and takeout at our Foothills
Industrial location in Calgary SE.
