Accordion Potatoes

Potatoes cut to stretch like an accordion — a visual masterpiece.

Accordion Potatoes

30 min · 2 servings

Ingredients

  • Large oblong Potatoes (peeled or unpeeled)
  • 2 Chopsticks (or skewers)
  • Melted Butter + Garlic powder + Parsley
  • Skewers (for holding shape)

Method

  1. Place a potato between two chopsticks (prevents cutting all the way through).
  2. Side 1: Make vertical straight cuts all along the potato.
  3. Side 2: Flip the potato. Make diagonal cuts (45-degree angle) all along.
  4. Gently pull ends; the potato should stretch open like a slinky.
  5. Push a skewer through the center to hold it stretched.
  6. Brush with garlic butter getting into all grooves.
  7. Air Fry at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes until crispy.

Chef's tip: Go slowly with the cuts — even spacing makes the accordion effect more dramatic
