Potato accordions

How to make it

1. 1

   Cut the potatoes

   Wash the potatoes well and cut across them 5–6 times, without cutting all the way through.

2. 2

   Place in the pan

   Put half of the butter in the pan and set the potatoes in with the cut side up. Sprinkle salt over, and dot the rest of the butter in small pieces on top.

3. 3

   Bake in the oven

   Put the potatoes in a hot oven (about 200 °C (390 °F)) for about half an hour. Test with a skewer to see if they are done.

4. 4

   Sprinkle over

   When the potatoes begin to get tender, sprinkle breadcrumbs and, if you like, a little grated cheese over. They are done when completely tender and a nice golden brown.
