Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 2–3 medium russet potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted garlic butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish
Instructions
How to Cut Accordion Potatoes
- Place chopsticks on either side of your potato. These will act as guards so your knife doesn’t slice all the way through.
- Cut slits across the potato horizontally, stopping when the knife hits the chopsticks.
- Flip the potato over.
- Now cut diagonal slits across the backside (this creates the accordion pattern).
- Gently insert a skewer through the center of the potato to hold it steady during cooking.
How to Air Fry Accordion Potatoes
- Season the Potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper
- Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it heat for 3–5 minutes.
- Air fry at 375°F for 15–20 minutes.
- Flip halfway through for even browning (optional but helpful).
- Check doneness with a fork. The edges should be crispy, and the center should be soft. Depending on the size of your potatoes and the brand of your air fryer, cooking time may vary slightly.
