"acordarse de" or "recordar"?

Both acordarse de and recordar can be used to translate to remember (used transitively), provided the object of remember is not another verb. Recordar is becoming less common, however, in everyday informal contexts:

Do you remember where he lives? ¿Te acuerdas de dónde vive?; ¿Recuerdas dónde vive?

Use acordarse de + infinitive to translate to remember to + verb:

Did you remember to close the door? ¿Te acordaste de cerrar la puerta?

Don't use recordar for remembering to do sth.

Use recordar + perfect infinitive/clause or acordarse de + clause to translate to remember + -ing:

I remember closing the door Recuerdo haber cerrado or Recuerdo que cerré or Me acuerdo de que cerré la puerta

Recordar also translates remind:

I must remind Richard to pay the rent Tengo que recordarle a Richard que pague el alquiler

remember
