Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, I’m sharing a recipe for Accordion Potatoes, which we affectionately call the ‘gateway to potato perfection’ in our home. You can easily make these with just an air fryer! So, shall we begin making these delightful accordion potatoes right away?
Step 2
First, wash the potatoes thoroughly. It’s best to scrub them well with a brush to remove any dirt from the skin. Here’s the key tip for achieving that beautiful accordion shape: when slicing, place wooden chopsticks or the handles of thick spoons on either side of the potato. This prevents your knife from cutting all the way through to the bottom, ensuring your slices hold together and create a lovely fan effect. Slice them thinly, about 0.5 cm apart.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the seasoning that will bring out the best in your potatoes. Melt 1 tsp of butter in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds. Once melted, add 1/2 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of dried parsley. Mix them thoroughly with a fork or spoon. Brush this simple yet flavorful mixture generously between each potato slice. This step is crucial for infusing them with deliciousness.
Step 4
Arrange the seasoned potato slices in your air fryer basket, spreading them out nicely. Start by air frying at 180°C (350°F) for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, check the potatoes’ crispness. If you prefer them extra crispy, continue air frying for another 12 minutes. The total cooking time is typically around 30-32 minutes, but this can vary depending on your air fryer model, so keep an eye on them and adjust as needed. Be careful not to set the temperature too high, as this can cause the outsides to burn before the inside is cooked.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are golden brown and perfectly cooked, you can finish them off with a light dusting of powdered sugar, if desired. This adds a touch of sweetness that children especially adore! (Optional)
Step 6
Ta-da! Your delicious-looking accordion potatoes are ready. They are wonderfully crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them perfect for grabbing and eating. Their cute appearance also makes them a fantastic option for party snacks. Enjoy these amazing homemade treats!
