Accordion potatoes stuffed with melting cheese cooked in an air fryer offer a modern and healthy twist on an already incredibly tasty dish.
They are prepared in just a few minutes and with few ingredients for a surprising result.
Using an air fryer for this preparation allows you to achieve an irresistible crunch with a minimal amount of oil while keeping the inside of the potatoes soft and flavorful.
The air fryer cooking ensures even browning of the potatoes, thanks to the constant circulation of hot air, which gives a golden and crispy result. The crust that forms enhances the natural sweetness of the potato and makes the cheese even more inviting as it melts and slides into the accordion cuts.
The potatoes become particularly fragrant and are enriched with the notes of melting cheese, which blends without burning, remaining deliciously creamy.
It is a dish that combines tradition and innovation, offering a light and versatile variant, perfect both for those looking for a quick and tasty side dish and for those aiming to impress guests with a delightful and flavorful side.

Steps for Preparing Air Fryer Accordion Potatoes
For a perfect preparation WATCH THE VIDEO RECIPE
Choose potatoes of similar sizes, preferably yellow or red-fleshed, and medium-sized.
Wash them thoroughly under running water to remove any soil residue, as the skin will be kept for extra crunch. Dry them well with paper towels.
Place a potato on a cutting board and place two chopsticks (or wooden spoons) on the sides of the potato to prevent cutting all the way through. With a sharp knife, make parallel cuts at intervals of about 3-5 mm.
The chopsticks will help keep the base of the potato intact, creating the accordion effect.
Once cut, gently separate the slices slightly with your fingers to allow better penetration of the seasonings, and lay them on a baking tray with a drizzle of oil and salt.
Stuff each slice with julienned smoked scamorza, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, ensuring it penetrates each slice, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan and oregano.
Bake in the air fryer at 392°F for 30 minutes or in a static oven at 392°F for 45 minutes.
Serve hot, perhaps accompanied by a creamy sauce such as a delicious vegan mayo, or simply Greek yogurt with herbs and…

Storage
Before storing, let the potatoes cool completely at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating them while still warm, as this may create condensation, making the potatoes soggy.
Place the potatoes in an airtight container or wrap them well with plastic wrap. This will help preserve their freshness and prevent the cheese from drying out excessively.
Accordion potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. However, keep in mind that the texture might not be the same as when they are freshly cooked; the exterior may lose some of its crunchiness.
To restore the crispiness, you can reheat the potatoes in the air fryer at 320-338°F for about 5-8 minutes, or until they are hot and crispy. This method helps to bring back the crunchiness on the outside, preventing the potatoes from becoming too soft.
You can also reheat them in a static oven at 356°F for about 10-15 minutes. Cover them with a sheet of aluminum foil for the first few minutes to prevent the cheese from burning, then remove the foil to let them brown.
