Ideally, potatoes appear on your dinner table as mashed, roasted or whipped. But making it aesthetically pleasing is a tricky business. Luckily, there’s an easy way to bring in more creativity to your favorite humble potatoes. Trust me, this only requires minimal effort on your part. 

Accordion potatoes. The beautiful viral potato recipe you must try at home. These are so pretty, you will want to make them again and again. Best of all, you are going to be addicted to the crispy outer texture of the potatoes. And obviously, that’s my most favorite thing about these potatoes. 

How To Make Accordion Potatoes 

First, peel and cut the potatoes into squares. Now, cut them in straight lines on one side, flip, and cut again diagonally on the other side. Do not cut all the way through. You can use skewers or chopsticks placed on both sides of the squared potatoes to get the perfect cut. 

You will also need to brush the potatoes with a beautiful garlic butter mixture. A combination of garlic, melted butter, dried oregano and cajun seasoning. Don’t forget to season with a little salt and pepper. The garlic butter mixture is the base of the marinade. To this, you can add any seasoning like cajun, paprika and red chili powder. 

Finally, bake. The crispy edges look simply amazing. So good!
