Recipe Review

Although I linked this particular recipe, I actually used a combination of recipes to make these pretty accordion potatoes. I kept the skin on and used the trick of cutting the potatoes between two cutting boards to prevent cutting all the way through the bottom.

They took much longer to cook than any of the recipes called for. In the end, although the potatoes were good they weren't anything special and certainly no better than regular baked potatoes.

I couldn't see going through the effort of making these again.

Its always so disappointing to invest time that doesn't turn out to be exceptional!

Your review reminded me of a potato dish I made from smitten kitchen. Though it took a lot of time, I thought it ended up being worth the effort -- consider this:

Its a similar sliced approach, but possibly easier.

That does sound good QS. I love a good potato dish. I may give the accordion ones another try some time but I think I'll give these Smitten Kitchen ones a try too.

Glad to know it wasn't just me, both for timing and outcome. When they were finally done, they looked great and tasted like ... potatoes.

In retrospect, I'm not sure why I expected anything different. Glad to have tried them once, because I would have always been curious, but will never make them again.
