If you’ve ever wandered through a festival or market, you’ve probably seen those glorious, golden ‘chips on a stick’—crispy, curly potatoes spiralled to perfection and served piping hot.

They’re a crowd favourite, but at $10 or more a pop, they can quickly turn a fun day out into a pricey treat.

Well, Kmart has just delivered a game-changer for all the snack lovers and savvy spenders out there: the $5.50 Spiral Potato Slicer.


Yes, you read that right—just $5.50! This nifty little gadget is causing a stir among Aussie shoppers, and for good reason.

Thanks to a popular social media video, the Spiral Potato Slicer has become the latest must-have kitchen tool.

It promises to bring the magic of festival food right into your own home, without the festival price tag.


The Spiral Potato Slicer is delightfully simple to use. Just skewer a potato, twist it through the slicer, and watch as it transforms into a perfect spiral in seconds.

Pop it in the oven or air fryer, add your favourite seasonings, and voilà—crispy, golden chips on a stick, ready to enjoy.

No drills, no fuss, and definitely no need to fork out $15 for a single spud.


One TikTok user summed it up perfectly: ‘I’d betray the trucks any time of day. $10 is too much and I’m broke.’

Another joked, ‘I still can’t believe people are paying $9 or $10 for a potato that was spiralled with a drill.’

It seems the days of overpriced festival snacks might be numbered!

While the slicer is a dream for potato lovers, creative home cooks are already experimenting with other fruits and veggies.

Fancy a healthier twist? Try sweet potatoes or zucchinis. Craving something sweet? Spiral an apple, dust it with cinnamon sugar, and pop it in the air fryer for a delicious dessert.

One shopper raved, ‘A spiral apple in the air fryer, dusted with cinnamon sugar—stop it. That sounds so delicious.’


The possibilities are endless, and at this price, it’s a fun way to get the grandkids involved in the kitchen, too.

Imagine the excitement at your next family gathering or party when you serve up a platter of homemade spiral snacks!

Kmart’s Spiral Potato Slicer is affordable and practical. It is dishwasher safe, easy to assemble, and doesn’t require fancy appliances or heavy-duty equipment.

It’s perfect for quick dinners, party snacks, or just a bit of fun on a rainy afternoon.

This gadget joins the ranks of other Kmart kitchen cult classics, like the beloved air fryer, mini pie maker, and snack-sized waffle irons.

All are adored for their ability to make everyday meals a little more special, without breaking the bank.


With the cost of living on everyone’s mind, finding small ways to save while still enjoying life’s little pleasures is more important than ever.

For just $5.50, the Spiral Potato Slicer offers a playful, satisfying way to treat yourself and your loved ones, without the guilt.
