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. http://forums.egull...08_3240_1042339.jpg

       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. [+]
