Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut each potato in half lengthwise.

Step 3

Place one potato half flat side down between two wooden spoons (to prevent cutting all the way through).

Step 4

Using a sharp knife, carefully cut narrow slits about 1/8 inch apart across the potato, stopping at the spoons.

Step 5

Flip the potato over and repeat the same process on the opposite side. Be gentle to avoid breaking the potato. Repeat for all potato halves.

Step 6

Soak the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes to help remove excess starch. Then, pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 8

Brush the seasoned butter mixture generously over each potato, making sure to get into all the cuts and crevices.

Step 9

Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.

Step 10

Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle them with freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese for garnish.

Step 11

Serve hot as a delicious side dish or snack, and enjoy the crispy, flavorful layers of the accordion potatoes!
