Ingredients

  • 1russet potato (about 6 ounces)
  • 1sweet potato (about 8 ounces)
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt

Preparation

  1. 1. Prepare the russet potato. Have a large, shallow bowl of ice water
  2. ready. Slice the potato to a 1.5mm/⅛-inch thickness (a mandoline
  3. is your best friend for this task) and then immediately put the slices
  4. into the ice water. Stir a bit and allow to soak for 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Drain and then rinse with cold water until the water running through
  6. the potatoes is clear (not cloudy). This process removes excess
  7. starch from the potato slices to achieve a crisper chip. Transfer the
  8. rinsed slices to a tray lined with a clean dish towel or paper towels.
  9. Top with another towel/paper towels and dry well.
  10. 2. Line a large microwave-safe plate with two layers of paper towels.
  11. Arrange the potato slices on top of the paper towel-lined plate, being
  12. sure that the slices do not overlap. Brush or spray the tops of the
  13. potato slices with oil, and then sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt.
  14. 3. Place the plate in the Cuisinart® 3-in-1 Microwave AirFryer Plus.
  15. Select Microwave, and set the time for 4 minutes and power level
  16. to High (10P). Press Start. Flip all slices and then return to the oven
  17. and microwave on High for 2 additional minutes. Remove and repeat
  18. with any remaining russet slices.
  19. 4. While the russets are cooking, prepare the sweet potato. Scrub and
  20. thinly slice the sweet potato in the same manner (preferably with amandoline to a 1.5mm/⅛-inch thickness). Arrange the sweet potato
  21. slices, in a single layer on a plate with fresh paper towels. Brush
  22. or spray with olive oil and then sprinkle with kosher salt. Select
  23. Microwave. Set the time for 4 minutes and the power level to High
  24. (10P). Flip the slices and then return to the oven to Microwave for
  25. an additional 2 minutes. Repeat with any remaining slices.
  26. 5. Serve with another sprinkle of salt, if desired, or with the Zesty Onion
  27. Dip (recipe follows).
