Accordion potatoes, often referred to as Hasselback potatoes, are characterized by their unique slicing technique. The potatoes are cut into thin slits, almost to the base, allowing them to fan out during cooking. This method not only creates a visually striking presentation but also maximizes the surface area for seasoning, ensuring that each bite is packed with flavor.

Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized russet potatoes

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prep the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Place each potato on a large spoon or the bottom of a sturdy glass (this will prevent cutting all the way through) and slice them into thin slices, about 1/4-inch apart, being careful not to cut all the way through.

      Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

        Season the Potatoes: Place the sliced potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a pastry brush to carefully brush the garlic butter mixture between the slices and over the tops of the potatoes.

          Parmesan Topping: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese generously over each potato, ensuring the cheese gets into the slits for maximum flavor.

            Drizzle Olive Oil: Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the potatoes to help them crisp up nicely in the oven.

              Bake the Potatoes: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the edges are crispy and golden brown.

                Garnish: Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley to add a pop of color and freshness.

                  Serve: Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes before serving. These can be a fantastic side dish for any meal or even a tasty snack on their own!
