Ingredients
- 2 large Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1 pound)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt
Instructions
- Thinly slice the potatoes about 1/16-inch thick using a mandolin. Put the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and stir to release the starch. Drain and refill the water as many times as necessary until the water remains clear. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Transfer the potatoes to the paper towels and pat dry.
- Line a large microwave-safe plate (the biggest that will fit in your microwave) with two layers of paper towel. Arrange as many potato slices on the paper towels as will fit in one layer without touching. Lightly brush the potatoes on both sides with oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Microwave at full power for 3 minutes. Flip the slices over and microwave at 60-percent power until crispy and golden brown in spots, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the chips to a serving bowl and repeat with the remaining potatoes.

who cares if a word is mispelled as long as you know what it means, its a recipe not a word essay
I just made this tonight, following the recipe exactly but having to add another minute on after turning. They are crispy and delicious right out of the microwave. However, after just a few minutes they are no longer crispy and get very chewy. So, unless you stand there and eat them right away this is not a recipe that is worth it.
These were awesome! I sliced them at 1/8 inch and cooked them 4 min at full power, flipped them & then 4 min at 60% power….came out perfect! They are yummy & easy! Will make again & again!
I was very skeptical that this would work but it did. The chips were perfectly crisp and I was able to monitor the amount of salt that was used. Will definitely make again and again.
How long and what temp would you use in an air fryer?
first off LOVE your show! rarely do i not save a recipe from an episode as i will with this one. WHY would anyone buy chips after making this recipe? i don’t have a fancy mandolin but my slices were thin. i sprayed them with a spray oil. i agree with the cook time others mentioned. i cooked my for the 3 minutes and it only took another 30 secs after i flipped them. crispy, tasty chips where i control the oil and salt. thank you valerie! linda
OMG! So easy and delicious you will never make enough!
So the end result will be crispy chips-if you cook them substantially longer than the recommended cook time. I suspect the cook time will vary, based on the power of your microwave. But I found myself having to cook my chips on full power, in 2-3 minute intervals, flipping them twice, and then one last time for 2 minutes. It looks me like 60 mins to cook 2 potatoes worth!
Gosh, these were so good and crunchy! I only had one potato left, and the chips went quickly between my husband and son. My son asked me to go back to the store for more potatoes so I could make some more chips, haha! I followed the given directions for the first plate, but had to put them back through the 2-minute / 60% cycle 3 times before they were done. So I thought maybe if I did the second plate at 4 minutes (and then 3 mins at 60%), that might be enough without having to put them back in again. Turns out they were perfect at 4 minutes, without needing to flip them for the 2nd cook. The third plate, for the rest of the potato slices, was also perfect at 4 minutes, without needing a second cook. Served these with grilled cheese sandwiches.
Instead of regular EVOO, I used flavored oliv oil; tasted great! It took me a bit longer than the time advised. Keeping a close eye is important. I pulled out the ones that were done and continued to cook the ones that needEd a bit more browning.
