Claims15
A food product suitable for slicing into helical strips, comprising:
- a whole potato having an outer surface and a longitudinal center axis;
- the whole potato having a plurality of penetration slots which extend radially inwardly from the outer surface to the longitudinal center axis;
- the slots being spaced apart longitudinally relative to the longitudinal center axis;
- the slots having a thickness dimension, a longitudinal width dimension which extends longitudinally in parallel relationship to the longitudinal center axis, and a depth dimension which extends radially inwardly toward and hence substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal center axis, the depth dimension terminating substantially at the longitudinal center axis.
