Accordion potatoes

Cookinero 18 Jan 2026

This dish is prepared from the simplest and most accessible products. Even a beginner can handle its preparation. Thanks to the cuts, the potatoes are well saturated with the aroma of herbs and spices. In addition, baked potatoes with garlic and herbs are much healthier than fried ones. Vegetable oil is not fried, which means it does not emit substances harmful to the body. Accordion potatoes can be an excellent side dish or a separate dish.

Accordion potatoes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! Olive oil, avocado oil, or melted butter work well as substitutes. Just note that butter may add a richer flavor, while olive oil will offer a fruitier taste.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-5 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for best crispiness—microwaving can make them soggy.
The recipe is naturally vegan as written! For extra richness, add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast or vegan cheese before baking if desired.
Starchy potatoes like Russets hold their shape well, but Yukon Golds add a buttery flavor. Avoid waxy varieties (like red potatoes), as they may not fan open as nicely.
Assemble them up to 4 hours in advance (store covered in the fridge). Let them sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before baking to ensure even cooking.
They pair wonderfully with grilled chicken, roasted salmon, or steak. For vegetarian meals, serve alongside a hearty salad or stuffed mushrooms.
The foil traps steam, keeping the potatoes tender inside. If you skip it, brush potatoes with extra oil and monitor closely—they may dry out faster or cook unevenly.
Swap potatoes with thick slices of kohlrabi, daikon radish, or celeriac. Reduce the baking time to 25-30 minutes, as these veggies cook faster.
Freezing isn’t recommended—the texture becomes grainy after thawing. For meal prep, store pre-cut raw potatoes in water (up to 24 hours), then dry and bake fresh.
Ensure your cuts go at least halfway through the potato but don’t slice all the way. Soaking the pre-cut potatoes in ice water for 15 minutes helps them open better during baking!
