Peel Out
Continuous Roll of Potato Crisp/Chip | |
Deeply-fried or somewhat healthy-consciously baked Apples-of-the-Earth peeled, seasoned and packaged in as continuous a strand as possible. Packaged in bulky "collectible" tins to maintain "integrity" of the crispy chip.
(?) French fried version, and not continuous.

What you get if you run a potato thru an apple peeler/slicer and fry it. If left whole they are pretty resilient and can be fried in a minimal size container saving oil. They don't keep well and could hardly be described as a crisp as they are best eaten fresh.Is this what you are talking about? |

Sounds like a novelty food that might sell well at carnivals, boardwalks, amusement parks etc. |
|
| |
It would definately be something most people would want to try at least once. |
|
| |
WcW's meritorious annotation led idea to be appended; "or somewhat healthy-consciously baked" as these are tubby times. |
|

Pretty much baked, unfortunately. Well, deep-fried. The single-strand version, not the DNA double twist. The spuds are spiral-sliced and sometimes skewered, but not done in a roll like paper. |
|
| |
The skewered version, where it's a spiral on a stick, is sometimes called a "tornado potato", and may not be found in the USA, yet (links). The South African "Chipstix" site (which sucks) claims to be the inventors. |
|
| |
The jumbled-up strand on a plate is called "ribbon fries", and are popular at American carnivals et c. (See link to cutter.) |

Either one looks yummy and fun.
Good idea, obviously. [+] |
