Question: How did the name "Tornado fries" originate?
About the article "French fries", section "Tornado fries".

Candidate passages:
Tornado fries are made by skewering the whole potato, and then cutting with a specialized spiral slicer.
The potato is spread evenly along the skewer and deep fried.
The cooking process fuses the potato to the skewer and holds it in place.
It is then sprinkled with dry seasonings or served with dipping sauce.
Tornado fries gets their name from the tornado-like shape that the potato has on the skewer.

Fries cut thickly with the skin left on are called "potato wedges", and fries without the skin are called "steak fries", essentially the American equivalent of the British "chip".
They can also be coated with breading, spices, or other ingredients, which include garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and salt to create "seasoned fries", cheese to create "cheese fries", or chili to create "chili fries".

Some restaurants and groceries in North America offer French fries made from sweet potatoes instead of traditional white potatoes.
In France, the thick-cut fries are called "Pommes Pont-Neuf" or simply "pommes frites", about 10 mm; thinner variants are "pommes allumettes" (matchstick potatoes), ±7 mm, and "pommes paille" (potato straws), 3–4 mm (roughly ⅜, ¼ and ⅛ inch respectively).
The two-bath technique is standard (Bocuse).
"Pommes gaufrettes" or "waffle fries" are not typical French fried potatoes, but actually crisps obtained by quarter-turning the potato before each next slide over a grater and deep-frying just once.

French fries are generally salted and, in their simplest and most common form, are served with ketchup; in many countries, though, they are topped instead with other condiments or toppings, including vinegar, mayonnaise, or other local specialities.
Fries can also be topped more elaborately, as is the case with the dishes of poutine and chili cheese fries.
