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