Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a small saucepan, melt the 1/2 stick of butter over low heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Remove the butter and garlic mixture from the heat and stir in the salt and black pepper.
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can peel them if desired, but leaving the skin on adds extra texture and nutrients.
- Place one potato on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, make thin slices across the potato widthwise, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch apart. Be careful not to cut all the way through the potato; the aim is to create an accordion-like effect. Tip: Place the potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks as guides to prevent slicing through the bottom.
- Repeat the slicing process with the remaining potatoes.
- Carefully fan the slices of each potato slightly apart to expose more surface area for the seasoning.
- Brush the butter and garlic mixture generously over and in between the potato slices. Ensure they are well-coated for maximum flavor.
- Place the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet or in an ovenproof dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender on the inside and crispy on the edges. The time may vary depending on the size and thickness of your potatoes.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Serve the garlic potato accordions hot as a delightful side dish to your favorite main course.
Tips:
- Choose potatoes that are similar in size for even cooking.
- Use a sharp knife to make precise cuts in the potatoes.
- Placing chopsticks or wooden spoons on either side of the potato can help prevent you from cutting all the way through.
- Ensure the butter and garlic mixture is well-distributed between the potato slices for maximum flavor.
- For an extra crispy finish, brush the potatoes with additional butter halfway through baking.
Garlic Potato Accordion is a delectable side dish that will elevate any meal with its beautiful presentation and rich flavors. With a few simple steps and mindful tips, you can create a dish that's both impressive and delicious. Enjoy the delightful combination of buttery, garlicky goodness in every bite!
