Ingredients
For the Potatoes:
3 large russet potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more for finishing)
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
For Finishing (Optional):
2 tablespoons melted butter
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley or chives, chopped
Flaky sea salt, for garnish
Instructions
Prep Potatoes:
Peel and slice each potato into ½-inch thick slabs.
Using skewers and a sharp knife or mandoline, make shallow diagonal cuts across each side in opposite directions to form the accordion effect.
Soak:
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water. Soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain and pat dry thoroughly using paper towels.
Season:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Brush mixture onto all sides of the potatoes.
Bake:
Place skewered potatoes on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake for 40–45 minutes or until crisp and deeply golden, flipping once halfway through.
Finish & Serve:
Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan, herbs, and flaky sea salt before serving if desired.
Notes
Soaking and thoroughly drying the potatoes are key for crispy results.
You can air-fry smaller pieces for even quicker cooking.
Parmesan and fresh herbs add a restaurant-style finish.
