Crispy Potato Twisters are a fun and flavorful snack or side dish perfect for any occasion. Pairing them with a creamy avocado coriander dip adds a refreshing contrast to the crispy potatoes.

Ingredients: 4 large potatoes. 2 tablespoons olive oil. Salt to taste. 1 ripe avocado. 1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 2 tablespoons lime juice. Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 400F 200C. Clean and dry the potatoes. To make a flat base, cut off a thin layer from one side of each potato. Put a wooden stick or skewer into the flat side of each potato. Cut each potato in half around the middle with a sharp knife, being careful not to go all the way through. Pull and stretch the potato spirals slowly. Add salt and olive oil to the potatoes. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy. Make the avocado coriander dip at the same time. Put avocado, coriander, garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor and blend or process until smooth. Mix until it's creamy and smooth. As a side dish, serve hot crispy potato twists with salad dressing.

Beer-steamed potatoes are a tasty change from regular steamed potatoes. While the garlic adds a depth of flavor, the beer gives the potatoes a rich, slightly bitter taste. This easy and tasty dish goes well with many different kinds of meals.

Ingredients: 6 medium potatoes, washed and quartered. 1 bottle of beer. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 2 tablespoons olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Chopped parsley for garnish optional.

Instructions: In a large pot, pour the beer and bring it to a boil. Add the quartered potatoes and minced garlic to the pot. Cover the pot and let the potatoes steam in the beer for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain any excess liquid from the pot. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss the potatoes to coat them evenly with the olive oil and seasoning. Transfer the beer-steamed potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
