Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  2. To achieve the perfect accordion cut, place chopsticks along each side of the potato slices as guides. Make vertical cuts down the length of the potato.
  3. Once sliced, immerse the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes.
  4. While the potatoes soak, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. After soaking, carefully drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels.
  6. In a small bowl, melt the butter, then mix in the paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Brush this mixture over the tops of the potato slices.
  7. Place the seasoned potato slices on the baking sheet, cut side up. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
  8. Once crispy and browned, remove from the oven, cool slightly, and sprinkle with flaky salt and parsley before serving.
