How are curly fries made... and what happens to the rest of the potato?
Answers:
There isn't much potato left over.
A whole potato (peeling is optional) is put lengthwise onto a spindle, kind of like a wood lathe. The spindle spins around---some machines are electric, and some are hand-operated,---while a blade slices downward through the potato. If it's done carefully, the whole potato can be cut into one continuous strip.
The only part of the potato that's possibly wasted is the skin. But if the potato isn't peeled first, there's no waste at all.
you just take a grinder and there you go
the rest of the potatoe is sent to potatoe camp in West Virginia. I've heard its a lot of fun!
I've made them before by just putting a whole potato in a "Tater Twister" and then deep frying them! No left-overs! The entire potato is made into the curly fries!
