Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Insert one wooden skewer lengthwise through the center of each potato, ensuring it goes straight through.

Carefully spiral cut each potato. Hold a potato firmly against the flat, slicing side of a box grater. Rotate the potato slowly while applying gentle pressure, allowing the grater to cut a continuous spiral strip around the skewer. Continue until the entire potato is spiraled.

Gently pull apart and stretch the spiraled potato slices along the skewer, creating an elongated, accordion-like shape. Be careful not to break the potato strips.

In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over all sides of the stretched spiral potatoes.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F. Ensure there is enough oil to submerge the potatoes. If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F and lightly grease a baking sheet.

Carefully place one or two spiral potatoes into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally. If baking, place the seasoned potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender-crisp.

Remove the fried potatoes from the oil and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. If baked, remove from the oven. Serve immediately while hot.
