Best 3 Accordion Potatoes Recipes

ACCORDION POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Smash a clove of garlic and place it in a small saucepan with the butter. Melt over medium-low heat.
• Using a sharp knife, make crosswise cuts in each potato about 1/8 inch apart, stopping about 1/4 inch from the bottom. Brush each potato generously with the garlic butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake the potatoes for 30 minutes, then take them out and re-brush with the remaining butter. Bake for another 15 minutes, then (using tongs because they will be hot) stuff the potatoes with the cheese in between the slices. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the potatoes and cook until the cheese has melted. Top with the sour cream, bacon and chives.

ACCORDION POTATOES WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• 1. Scrub potatoes but do not peel. Cut a small slice off the bottom (lengthwise) of each potato so it will stand and won't roll.
• 2. With a sharp knife, carefully slice the potato all the way across in thin slices, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom. Fan the potato out with your fingers without breaking it.
• 3. Insert one slice of the garlic cloves between every second or third potato slice.
• 4. Break the butter up into very small pieces and scatter across the tops of potatoes. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper and drizzle with the olive oil.
• 5. Bake in a preheated 425-degree oven for about 40 minutes or until done. In the last five minutes of baking time, sprinkle about 1 ounce of cheese over each potato and add the green onion, if desired.
