Peel the potatoes and snip off the ends. Place is horizontally and slice off the curved parts on both sides to form a rectangle.

Cut each rectangle into two halves like a fillet horizontally. Don’t let these slices by very thick. About ½” thickness is fine.

Place two chopsticks parallel to each other on the width of the potatoes. Now using a sharp knife score straight lines close to each other. The chopsticks prevent you from cutting the potatoes all the way through.

Flip the potato side and this time score one-side diagonal lines close to each other. Now when you pick up the potato slice, it bends and opens up like an accordion.

Immerse in cold water to prevent them from darkening. Repeat for more potatoes.

You can use thin skewers to skewer the potato and open it out a bit. I just let them be this way.

Preheat air fryer at 180C or 360F for 5 minutes.

Brush the basket or use perforated parchment paper to line your basket. Brush both sides of each accordion potato with spiced oil.

Place them in air fryer basket in one layer.

Air fry at 180C or 360F for 8 minutes. Brush once more with spiced oil and air fry again at 200C or 390F for about 10 minutes.

Your potatoes will be cooked inside and crispy outside.

If you want them crispier then air fryer for 2 minutes more.

Remember the next batch will get done slightly faster.

Take out and serve with a spicy chipotle mayo or dip of your choice. They are so delicious. Don’t forget to pull them out to admire their fancy design. :)
