In the history of the United States, a carpetbagger was a Northerner who moved to the South after the American Civil War during the Reconstruction Era (1863â1877). Many white Southerners denounced them, fearing they would loot and plunder the defeated South and be politically allied with the Radical Republicans.
The absolute most perfect use of potatoes, better even than French fries, is to turn them into potato pancakes, which have crunchy mahogany edges, crispy golden midsections, and tender, rich, meaty interiors.
The spiral cutter turns each potato into a continuous light, curly ribbon. Because the potato is so thin, it cooks very quickly in the deep fryer. In half the time needed for conventional fries, the spiral fries are golden brown and completely crisp.
