Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, sea salt, pepper, paprika, rosemary, oregano, and garlic. Set aside.

Prep the potatoes by peeling them and then slicing off the tips so that you have a rectangle/ square. See my video below for reference. Cut the potatoes into 1/3 inch slices.

Place each potato slice in between 2 chopsticks or skewers. Slice the potato horizontally using the chopsticks so that you don’t cut all of the way through. You want to make the cuts very close together, about 10 slices every inch of potato (again, see video for reference). Flip the potato over and repeat this process BUT making your cuts diagonally from one corner to the other, making sure that you do NOT cut all of the way through. Repeat with all of the potatoes

Place the potatoes on the baking sheet and brush with the butter mixture. Bake for 20 minutes, flip the potatoes, and bake for an additional 10-20 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy around the edges and just starting to blacken.

Let cool slightly and sprinkle with fresh herbs. ENJOY!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Slice Evenly for Uniform Cooking 🔪
Use a sharp knife or mandoline to cut accordion slices 1/4-inch apart, stopping just before the bottom to keep the potato intact—uniform thickness ensures even crisping throughout.
Dry Your Potatoes Thoroughly 💧
Pat potatoes completely dry with paper towels after rinsing to remove surface moisture, which is essential for achieving that coveted crispy exterior.
Infuse Butter with Aromatics 🧈
Melt unsalted butter with minced garlic and fresh rosemary, then brush between the accordion slices before baking to distribute flavor evenly and add richness to every layer.
Tent with Foil Halfway Through 📋
Cover potatoes with foil for the first 25-30 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning, then remove to allow the exterior to crisp and turn golden during the final 15-20 minutes.
Season in Layers for Maximum Flavor 🧂
Apply smoked paprika, oregano, and fine sea salt between the slices and on top—this multi-layer seasoning approach ensures every bite is flavorful, not just the exterior.
