i've been toying with this one for a while. i love potatoes and chips. any way, i went out and bought one of those plastic plate with grooves many use to microwave bacon on to place the potato chip slices on. the ordinary plate suggested in the original recipe was leaving the chips a bit soggy.
what i do is make really thin potato slices (about 2-3 mm). feel free to cut off the skins or peel the potato before you slice it. then i take a paper towel and dry the potato slices as they can get juicy. the dryer the better, but don't beat yourself up over some moisture lay the potato slices on the bacon cooker plate where they don't over lap. you might have to cook it in a few batches. put them plate in the microwave and nuke on high for 4 minutes, turn the over. be careful as they can be hot, i use tongs. then nuke for a few minutes. keep your eyes on them. when they start turning brown they are almost done. i like mine crispy so i nuke for a bit longer (about 8-9 minutes total). i do put lawry's season salt onj mine half way through, but they can be salted once you take them out. if they aren't really brown they will need to cool for a few minutes to harden up. since mine are crispy i can eat almost immediately.
i hope this might be useful and you get as good of result as i do. i'm addicted to these things. the only pain is that they take so long to slice and i don't have a mandolin
