1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Using a spiralizer or a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into thin spiral shapes. Soak the spiralized potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
2
Season the Potatoes
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. In a mixing bowl, combine salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss the dried potato spirals in the seasoning mix until evenly coated.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
4
Fry the Potato Spirals
Carefully add a handful of the seasoned potato spirals into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.

5
Serve the Texas Twisters
Serve the crispy potato spirals hot, garnished with optional toppings such as cheese, sour cream, or jalapeños. Enjoy!
