Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In our home, this is affectionately called ‘potato carving’! Shall we start the golden recipe for making Accordion Potatoes, a dish that’s sure to impress? Get ready for a culinary adventure!
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the star of our dish: the potatoes. Wash them thoroughly to ensure no dirt or blemishes remain, especially since we’ll be using the skins. A good scrub will make sure they’re perfectly clean.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to create the signature accordion slits. To prevent cutting all the way through, here’s a handy trick: place two wooden chopsticks lengthwise on either side of the potato. The knife will stop at the chopsticks, preventing the slices from detaching completely from the bottom. Using the chopsticks as guides, carefully slice the potato at intervals of about 1-1.5 cm to create the accordion effect.
Step 4
Next, let’s whip up a delicious seasoning to elevate the potato’s flavor. In a small bowl, melt 1 teaspoon of butter in the microwave for about 10 seconds until softened. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of dried parsley. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined. This simple mixture is the perfect seasoning for your Accordion Potatoes! Now, generously brush this mixture between the potato slices, ensuring every crevice is coated. A small spoon or brush works great for this step.
Step 5
It’s time to bake our beautiful Accordion Potatoes! Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake for an initial 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, check on the potatoes. If they need more time to reach your desired crispiness, bake for an additional 10-12 minutes. For an extra crispy finish, you can increase the oven temperature slightly to 200°C (400°F) and bake for a total of around 30-35 minutes. Baking times may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them.
