Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 large potatoes

Seasoning and Butter Mixture

  • 1/4 cup melted butter (dairy or vegan)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 4 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Sea salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to bake the potatoes until they are crispy and golden.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Clean and peel the potatoes, then cut off the ends. Slice each potato lengthwise into very thin 1/4 to 3/8 inch slices, but do not slice all the way through – leave the base intact to create the accordion effect.
  3. Use Skewers for Guidance: Place skewers on either side of each potato to act as a barrier, which will help you make vertical cuts followed by diagonal cuts, ensuring the slices fan out uniformly without cutting completely through the potato.
  4. Soak Potatoes: Submerge the sliced potatoes in cold water for about 10-15 minutes to prevent them from browning and to remove excess starch, which helps in crisping during baking.
  5. Brush with Garlic Herb Butter: Mix the melted butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, paprika, black pepper, and sea salt. Brush this mixture generously on both sides of each potato, ensuring the flavors penetrate well.
  6. Arrange and Bake: Place the prepared potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes. Flip the potatoes halfway through baking to achieve even golden-brown color and crispiness.

Notes

  • Using skewers helps maintain the accordion shape while slicing the potatoes evenly.
  • Soaking potatoes in cold water removes starch and improves crispiness.
  • Brush the potatoes generously with seasoned butter for the best flavor and texture.
  • Flip carefully halfway through baking to avoid breaking the delicate sliced potatoes.
  • Can be served as a striking side dish with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a standalone snack.
