Equipment
- Microwave
- Mandoline
Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes washed; approx. 600g total
- ⅛ tsp salt fine table salt, or to taste
- 1 large bowl of iced water for soaking potato slices; discard before cooking
Instructions
- Slice the unpeeled potatoes as thinly as possible using a mandoline.
- Place the slices in a large bowl of iced water. Gently separate them with your hands, then let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
- Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on a sheet of parchment paper cut to fit your microwave turntable. Make sure the slices do not overlap.
- Lightly sprinkle the slices with salt.
- Carefully transfer the parchment sheet to the microwave. Microwave on high for about 5 minutes, or until golden and crisp. (Microwave times may vary depending on your model.)
- Repeat with remaining potato slices.
- Enjoy immediately for the crispiest texture, or store in an airtight container once fully cooled.
