Instructions
Prep and Preheat
Preheat oven to 425F. Wash and dry each potato. Place a potato between two chopsticks lengthwise on the cutting board so the chopsticks prevent the knife from cutting all the way through the base.
Score the Accordions
Slice each potato crosswise at 3mm intervals all the way down using the chopsticks as guides. Then rotate the potato 45 degrees and slice again crosswise creating a diamond crosshatch pattern. Gently fan the slices open slightly.
Apply Garlic Butter
Whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Using a pastry brush work this mixture thoroughly into every cut and crevice of each potato. Reserve half the butter mixture for a second coat.
Roast and Baste
Place potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast at 425F for 30 minutes. Pull them out and brush with remaining garlic butter then pack parmesan into the open slices. Return to oven and roast another 20 minutes until edges are deeply golden and cheese is crispy.
Garnish and Plate
Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes. Scatter fresh chives over the top and add a final pinch of flaky salt. Serve on a warm plate immediately while the parmesan edges remain crisp.
