We used to have this single implement its like a screw with a blade which you poke through a potato or onion or carrot..a you turn the blade round and round till you have gone into a spiral from stem to root. I used to use it when I was a teenager, must be in limbo now… Best guess is I will find it one day in Divisoria.

And Fcuk it only cost around 20 Pesos.

When I was there in Manila last Jan/Feb…I think it was Robinsons we bought a potato fried like that for 120 Pesos…what daylight robbery.

There is also one such tater stall in Shopwise Cubao where they sell it in combination with fish chips or tempura; you also have a choice between tater chips, french fries or these tater ribbons. And yeah, choices of dips to go with it. I never fail to buy at this stall, yummy!

ted, I have traditionally relied on russets as being a good potato for frying but I am not a potato expert… Hershey, yes, I find that russets are better for frying than many of the varieties grown in the Philippines… though I am told a version of russets has been tried up in the Benguet area…
