POTATO MICROWAVE RECIPES

Steps:

• Thinly slice the potatoes about 1/16-inch thick using a mandolin. Put the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and stir to release the starch. Drain and refill the water as many times as necessary until the water remains clear. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Transfer the potatoes to the paper towels and pat dry.
• Line a large microwave-safe plate (the biggest that will fit in your microwave) with two layers of paper towel. Arrange as many potato slices on the paper towels as will fit in one layer without touching. Lightly brush the potatoes on both sides with oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Microwave at full power for 3 minutes. Flip the slices over and microwave at 60-percent power until crispy and golden brown in spots, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the chips to a serving bowl and repeat with the remaining potatoes.

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 450°F. Wash and dry potatoes. 2. With a fork or sharp knife, pierce each potato 2 or 3 times. 3. Rub each potato with a little oil (just enough to lightly coat) and salt generously. 4. Place on a cookie sheet or baking pan. Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. 5. Wash and dry potatoes. 6. With a fork or sharp knife, pierce each potato 2 or 3 times. 7. Rub each potato with a little oil (just enough to lightly coat) and salt generously. 8. Place potatoes in a circle on a paper towel, leaving a 1-inch space between each potato. 9. Cook on HIGH for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork, turning once during cooking and removing any that are done after 15 minutes. 10. Let potatoes stand for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. 11. Heat air fryer to 400°F.  12. Wash and dry potatoes, making sure that skin is really dry.  13. With a fork or sharp knife, pierce each potato 2 or 3 times. 14. Rub each potato with a little oil (just enough to lightly coat) and salt generously. 15. Air fry for 30-40 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork or internal temperature reaches 210°. Time will depend on your appliance, the size of your potatoes and how many you are cooking at once.  16. Place 1 cup water in the bottom of an Instant pot or pressure cooker. Place a rack or steamer basket over the water (water level should be lower than the rack). 17. Wash and dry potatoes. 18. With a fork or sharp knife, pierce each potato 2 or 3 times. 19. Rub each potato with a little oil (just enough to lightly coat) and salt generously. 20. Place the potatoes in the steamer basket and set pressure cook setting to high. Pressure cook on high for 16 minutes. If your potatoes are larger than 14 ounces, pressure cook for 20 minutes. 21. Let pressure release naturally for best results. 22. Optional: To crisp the skin, place potatoes directly on the rack in a hot oven, convection oven or toaster oven for a few minutes. 23. Notes: Make sure potatoes do not touch the water or they will get mushy instead of fluffy. Do not attempt to make this without water – pressure cookers need liquid to get pressurized.
