Equipment
- Microwave
- Mandoline
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato washed; skin on; approx. 10 oz / 280g
- ⅛ tsp salt fine table salt
- 1 large bowl of iced water for soaking the slices (not consumed; optional for texture)
Instructions
- Using a mandoline, slice the sweet potato (skin on) as thinly as possible.
- Place the sweet potato slices into a large bowl of iced water. Use your fingers to gently separate the slices, then let them sit for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain the sweet potato and pat the slices dry thoroughly using paper towels or a clean dish towel.
- Line a microwave-safe plate with non-stick parchment paper. Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap or touch at the edges. Lightly sprinkle with salt.
- Microwave on high for 4 minutes, then check for browning. Continue cooking in 30-second intervals until the chips are golden and beginning to crisp—typically 4 to 5 minutes total depending on your microwave. Note: The chips will continue to crisp up slightly as they cool.
- Remove from the microwave and let cool on a wire rack or plate. Repeat with the remaining slices.
- Enjoy immediately for maximum crispness, or store in an airtight container for up to 1–2 days.
