These potatoes are not only crispy and flavorful, but they are also easy to prepare with an air fryer. By using a blend of sour cream, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and shallots, this recipe elevates the classic baked potato to a gourmet level.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Thoroughly wash and dry the potatoes.
- Place a potato on a cutting board and set two wooden spoons on either side to prevent cutting all the way through. Slice the potato thinly, making cuts about 1/4 inch apart, ensuring you don’t slice it all the way through. This will create the accordion effect.
- Repeat for the remaining potatoes.
- In a small bowl, pour the vegetable oil.
- Gently fan out the slices in each potato so they’re more separated, and brush the oil over each potato, making sure to get some oil between the slices.
- Place the potatoes in the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Cook for 25-30 minutes, checking halfway through to see if the slices are fanning out properly. If needed, brush a little more oil and gently separate the slices.
- Continue cooking until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the shallots.
- In a skillet, heat a small amount of vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped shallots and sauté until they are caramelized and golden brown, which should take about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, cream cheese, and mayonnaise.
- Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Once the shallots are caramelized, stir them into the creamy mixture.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the air fryer and place them on a serving plate.
- Generously dollop the creamy French onion mixture over the top of each potato, ensuring to get some between the slices for added flavor.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve the Air Fryer French Onion Accordion Potatoes hot as a delicious side dish or appetizer.
Tips:
- Choose potatoes that are similar in size to ensure even cooking.
- Use a sharp knife to make evenly spaced cuts in the potatoes, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Preheat your air fryer to ensure the potatoes cook evenly.
- Brush the potatoes generously with oil to achieve a crispy exterior.
- Shake the basket or turn the potatoes halfway through cooking for even browning.
- Allow the cream cheese and sour cream to come to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Serve the potatoes immediately for the best texture and flavor.
With their perfect blend of a crispy exterior and creamy interior, air fryer French onion accordion potatoes make for an impressive and mouthwatering addition to any meal.
