Accordion Sandwiches Recipes

ACCORDION POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Smash a clove of garlic and place it in a small saucepan with the butter. Melt over medium-low heat.
• Using a sharp knife, make crosswise cuts in each potato about 1/8 inch apart, stopping about 1/4 inch from the bottom. Brush each potato generously with the garlic butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake the potatoes for 30 minutes, then take them out and re-brush with the remaining butter. Bake for another 15 minutes, then (using tongs because they will be hot) stuff the potatoes with the cheese in between the slices. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the potatoes and cook until the cheese has melted. Top with the sour cream, bacon and chives.

ACCORDION SANDWICHES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degree F. Cut bread into 16 slices, cutting to, but not through the bottom crust. In a small bowl stir together mayonnaise or salad dressing, Italian salad dressing, and Parmesan.
• 2. Tuck chicken or turkey, ham, and cheese slices between every other bread slice. Place a well-rounded teaspoon of mayonnaise mixture in the slits with the meat, spreading slightly. (If the loaf breaks apart, press a piece of foil around the bottom of the loaf.)
• 3. Place on a baking sheet. Bake loaf in the 375 degree F oven about 15 minutes or until hot. Makes 8 servings. 8 points per serving
