How to make accordion potatoes in air fryer?

• Mix chopped garlic, salt, red paprika with 2 tablespoon oil. Keep it aside.

• Wash and remove any dirt from the potatoes and peel them.

• Cut the cheeks of the potato so that they have a flat surface on both sides.Place the potato between 2 wooden spatulas / spoons.

• Cut the potato with the knife, using the spatula to prevent from cutting all the way down through the potato. Cut them straight first.

• We have to cut the potatoes from both sides. Turn around the potato and cut them diagonally using the spatula to prevent from cutting all the way down through.

• Insert a wooden skewer across the potatoes.

• This will help to hold them together.

Top tips

Few things to note:

1. The air fryer has to be pre heated. Treat it just like your oven.
2. Choose potatoes that are long in shape not round and are good for roasting. I prefer russet one. Here in Australia I use Royal Dutch cream/purple/royal blue.
3. Once cooked, use a spatula to pick them up, else they will break.

Variation

• Vegetarians can garnish air fryer accordion potatoes with cheese while vegans can use vegan cheese or garlic chives for garnish.

Substitution

• You can make these accordion potatoes using sweet potato. However, cooking time will differ as they are softer.

Storage

• Store it in refrigerator for 2-3 days. Always heat your food before serving.

Food safety

• Always reheat your leftovers. You can air fry at 200 deg C for 2-3 mins instead of using a microwave.
