How to make accordion potatoes or chips on a stick
INGREDIENTS
Jules (pictured) shared the simple recipe on her Instagram page
Potatoes (Marris Piper or Russet)
Olive oil
Garlic salt
Wooden skewers
Salt in water
METHOD
1. Peel and cut your potatoes into rectangular cubes.
2. Make cuts along the potato horizontally that go halfway down, before flipping the potato and doing the same thing diagonally. You should end up with something that looks like an accordion that is able to be stretched and bent.
3. Rinse the potatoes in salty water to make them extra crispy in the oven.
3. Skewer the potatoes on either end with a wooden skewer, then place them in a baking tray and brush with olive oil and garlic salt.
4. Preheat the oven at 200 degrees Celsius and place the potatoes in the oven for 30 minutes.
5. Enjoy with extra salt and pepper and your choice of topping.

To make the potatoes really crispy before roasting, Jules (pictured) said you should dunk them in a bowl of cool salt water
First, Jules suggests you peel your potatoes and cut them into even and neat rectangular cubes.
Then, make cuts that go halfway down horizontally along one side of the potato, before flipping them and making cuts diagonally.
‘To make the potatoes really crispy, I rinse them in a bowl of salt water,’ Jules said.
‘This gets the starch off them and makes them go really crispy in the oven.’
Finally, she adds a wooden skewer to either end of the potatoes and brushes them with olive oil and garlic salt.
‘I feel like these are a fun snack for kids and grownups alike, they are so delicious,’ Jules said (pictured with the finished result)
Once the potatoes are in a baking tray, Jules said she cooks them in the oven for 30 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius.
They can then be enjoyed hot or cold, with extra salt and your choice of toppings.
‘I feel like these are a fun snack for kids and grownups alike, they are so delicious,’ Jules said.
Thousands who saw the simple recipe were impressed and said they’d love to try making the potatoes for themselves.
