Accordion Potatoes in an Air Fryer

Directions

1. 1

   Step 1

   

   Wash the potatoes and leave them in their skins. Prepare chopsticks and an air fryer.

2. 2

   Step 2

   

   Place a potato between two parallel chopsticks. This will allow you to make even cuts on the tuber without worrying they will be too deep and damage the integrity of the root vegetable. Cut each tuber in an 'accordion' pattern this way, so the slices are about 0.5 cm thick.

   Step 4

   

   Insert bacon slices into each cut on the potatoes. Sprinkle the tubers with pepper, salt, and dried thyme. Brush with olive oil using a pastry brush.

   Step 5

   

   Place the bacon-stuffed potatoes on a parchment-lined air fryer tray. Set the temperature to 170 °C and the timer for 50 minutes.
