Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Wash the potatoes under running water. Scrub them with a brush to get rid of any hidden dirt. Rinse again, then pat dry with a paper towel before peeling.
  • Cut off the ends and sides of the peeled potatoes to create a rectangular shape. Cut the rectangles lengthwise, so you'll end up with potato slices about 1 inch thick.
  • Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water while you finish cutting the rest.
  • Place a potato slice flat between a pair of skewers. Cut straight lines down the potato.

Notes

  • Place the potatoes you've already cut in cold water! This will keep them from browning and reduce excess starch for the crispiest accordion potatoes.
  • For the best-looking crosscut potatoes, make sure your lines are close together when scoring the slices. The potatoes should also be thick enough to pierce with a skewer without breaking.
  • Soak your bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to keep them from burning in the oven. You can also coat them with non-stick spray or wrap their ends in foil for extra protection from the heat.
