How Do You Make Sidewinder Fries?

[TheSoloChef]

Last December I went to Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham to see comedian Peter Kay live (which was amazing) and we had the deluxe package that included a 'fancy' meal in the Green Room. The meal consisted of 4 of the most tender and delicious slider burgers we had ever tasted along with some of the most incredible Sidewinder Fries!

I have a deep fryer at home so I would love to make some sidewinder fries but I'm not too sure exactly how you make/cut them as there's not much information about them on the internet, people are saying to use a Spiralizer to cut the sidewinder fries but from the spiralizers I've seen, they slice up the vegetables a bit too thinly than what would be required for sidewinder fries.

Let me see if I can find a photo of said fries..

The ones we had in Nottingham were the fluffiest, ever so slight crispy fries we had ever tried so I would love to recreate them.

Has anyone made Sidewinder fries, if so what do you use to cut the potatoes and do you have any photos of you making them?

I saw a reference to using a mandolin to cut them. One big long spiralled potato and cut to length.

Our spiralizer has 3 different blade widths. However, it is a KitchenAid mixer attachment and, even though it is an aftermarket part, was still fairly pricey.

Here you go. Have to cut to length. Also have to soak in cold water for a couple of hours to pull off/out surface starch to get them crispy.
