Crispy Garlic Parmesan Potatoes Bursting with Flavor

I am a huge fan of potatoes in just about any shape and style. And I am a complete sucker for crispy potatoes.

These accordion potatoes have everything I love about potatoes in SPADES!

If you love potatoes, crispy garlic parmesan potatoes are where it's at! And they look incredible – the eye-catching design will elevate your potato side dish and make it look way more difficult than it is.

I will say there's a bit of a learning curve when it comes to slicing the potatoes. But once you get it, it's a cinch. And don't you worry, I'm gonna walk you through it!

Crispy Accordion Potatoes Ingredients

• Potatoes: You can use any type of potato that you want, but I think large russet (baking) potatoes work best for this recipe. Yukon gold potatoes would also work well.
• Butter: Use unsalted butter for this so you can control the salt level.
• Spices: Using fresh spices and herbs always tastes better than dried or powdered equivalents. I used fresh garlic and parsley and dried oregano in this recipe.
• Parmesan: Use grated parmesan.

Step 1

First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees and thoroughly clean the potatoes.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and cut the ends off to square them up. Cut the potato lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices to create rectangles. Don't cut them thicker than this because they won't get as crispy when you cook them.

Step 3

Place the potato rectangles on your cutting board. Place a skewer on each side of the rectangle. Place potato between skewers to control the depth of the cuts. Cut vertical slices halfway through on one side – the skewers help you not cut all the way through.

Step 4

Flip the potato over and repeat the process. 

Step 5

Gently stretch out the potato, starting at the bottom and work towards the middle.  This part is so much fun!

Step 6

Place the potatoes into a bowl of water to rinse.

Step 7

Remove and drain. Slide on the skewers.

Step 8

Now, brush the garlic butter over both sides of the potatoes.

Step 9

Bake for 20 mins. Then brush with more of the sauce.

Step 10

Bake another 20 mins.

Step 11

Garnish with parmesan and enjoy fresh!

Tips and Notes About this Recipe

• Keep the lines close to each other as you cut so that you create that ideal accordion shape.
• Skewers help to serve as a base for cutting the potatoes so that you can make the accordion pattern easier without cutting all the way through the potato.
• Put the already-cut potatoes in cold water to keep them from turning brown while you cut more potatoes. Another benefit of this is to break down the excess starch to help make deliciously crispy garlic parm potatoes when you bake them.
• Depending on the size of your cut potatoes, you may need a little more than 40 minutes in order to get crispy. Once done, the potatoes will have a golden brown color and crispy edges.

How can I store leftover Accordion Potatoes?

I really don't see this as being something you're likely to face since these garlic parmesan potatoes are SO yummy they'll disappear in a flash.

However, if you have leftovers, you can store them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

They will tend to soften up, so the best way to rewarm these potato skewers is in the oven. Please avoid the microwave – the texture will be soft and awful.

To reheat, place them in a pre-heated oven at 400°F for 5 minutes, or until hot. They will be just as delicious and crispy as when you first made them!
