Recipe Variations

These potatoes can be roasted instead of fried for a healthier option. Brush the potatoes with oil, sprinkle salt to taste and black pepper to taste on both sides and bake for 25 minutes to preheat oven to 200C/400F. You can also air fry them at 200C for 20-25 minutes flipping halfway through.

How to Make Accordion Potatoes

1. Wash and peel potatoes.

2. Slice horizontally along both sides and vertically on both sides. The potato should resemble a large block. Slice the potato into equal-sized 1 centimeter or 0.4 inch blocks.

3. Line chopsticks along one block and chop horizontally, then flip it over and chop diagonally. This should give you an accordion shape.

Pat the potatoes dry with a paper towel then season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Next, heat oil in a saucepan or deep fryer on medium heat. Cook on both sides for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Place potatoes on a paper towel in a plate to soak excess oil.

5. Serve accordion potatoes with your favorite dipping sauce and top with fresh parsley.

Tips and Tricks

• Potatoes: Make sure you use chopsticks as this will prevent you from slicing the potatoes all the way through. You can also leave the potato skin on if you like.
• Seasoning: Feel free to add additional seasoning such as garlic seasoning and paprika.
