Crispy and golden on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside, these Air Fryer Accordion Potatoes offer a fun and delicious way to enjoy potatoes. Thinly sliced and seasoned with olive oil and salt, they cook to perfection in the air fryer, making for a simple yet impressive side dish.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Golden potatoes
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes: Peel the potatoes and rinse them under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry thoroughly using kitchen towels to ensure they crisp up well in the air fryer.
  2. Slice the potatoes: Cut the potatoes into slices about a quarter to half an inch thick. Place each potato on a cutting board and make thin vertical slices from one side, being careful not to cut all the way through by placing chopsticks on each side as a guide.
  3. Cut diagonally: Flip the potato over and make diagonal cuts on the other side, again avoiding cutting through completely. This creates the accordion effect allowing them to expand evenly when cooking.
  4. Season: Generously coat the potatoes with olive oil, ensuring it seeps between the slices, then sprinkle salt to taste for seasoning.
  5. Air fry: Place the prepared potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes. Flip the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook and brown evenly on all sides.
  6. Serve: Once golden brown and crispy, remove from the air fryer and serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure potatoes are thoroughly dried before seasoning for optimal crispiness.
  • Use chopsticks or similar objects as a guide while slicing to prevent cutting potatoes all the way through.
  • Flip potatoes halfway through air frying for even browning.
  • Variations: Add garlic powder, paprika, or grated cheese between slices for extra flavor.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size and model of your air fryer.
