Creating Accordion Potatoes is easy and fun! Follow these steps to achieve the perfect dish:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry and place them on a cutting board.
3. Slice Potatoes: Using a sharp knife, slice the potatoes thinly, making sure not to cut all the way through. You want the slices to remain connected at the bottom.
4. Season Potatoes: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Brush the mixture generously over the potatoes, ensuring it seeps into the slices.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned potatoes on the prepared baking sheet, spaced out for even cooking.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the edges begin to crisp.
7. Add Cheese: In the last 5-7 minutes of baking, remove the potatoes and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven and continue baking until the cheese melts and bubbles.
8. Garnish: Once out of the oven, let them cool slightly before garnishing with fresh parsley, if desired.

Following these steps will guide you to create delicious Accordion Potatoes that are both an aesthetic delight and a culinary marvel!
