Easy Air Fryer Accordion Potatoes: The Perfect Snack
Let’s make simple and delicious accordion potatoes using your air fryer. This easy snack is perfect for kids and adults alike!
Main Ingredients- 2 potatoes
- 1 tsp coconut oil (or olive oil)
- 1 pair of wooden chopsticks (to guide slicing)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, we’re going to make ‘Accordion Potatoes’ in the air fryer, a snack that both kids and adults will absolutely love! They’re easy to pick up and eat, making them perfect for any occasion, whether as a snack or a side dish!
Step 2
The most crucial step is slicing the potatoes beautifully. Be careful not to cut through the very top of the potato. To ensure you don’t slice all the way through, place a pair of wooden chopsticks on either side of the potato. Now, using the chopsticks as a guide, thinly slice the potato from the top, about 2-3mm apart. Stop slicing when your knife hits the chopsticks. This way, the potato will remain connected and keep its accordion shape.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the 2 tsp of melted butter with a pinch of salt, a pinch of sugar, and a little parsley flakes. Mix well to create a flavorful butter seasoning.
Step 4
Using a pastry brush, carefully brush the butter mixture between each slice of the potato. Make sure to get the seasoning into all the nooks and crannies of the potato slices; this is key to achieving a delicious flavor!
Step 5
Place the seasoned potatoes on a piece of parchment paper. Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) and cook the potatoes for about 20 minutes. Check on the potatoes halfway through. If they aren’t quite done after 20 minutes, continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the potatoes and your air fryer model. They are ready when they turn golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
Once beautifully golden and crispy, carefully separate the accordion potato slices and arrange them on a serving plate. For an extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal, you can lightly dust them with powdered sugar. Enjoy your perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and delightfully savory-sweet accordion potatoes! Bon appétit!
