This afternoon I wanted to try out what I thought was a really neat idea: Microwave sweet potato chips! Well, it still is a great idea, but my results were not as great as the person who came up with them. The sweet potato chips, (courtesy of the Rachel Cooks blog) were very temperamental, at least in my microwave. Maybe she used a lower wattage one.
Many of my chips burned bad enough that they could probably double as charcoal (even though I used less time), but I am not quite ready to throw the towel in just yet. Later in the week I plan on trying a batch using 80% power in the microwave to see if that eliminates my problem. My other idea is that if I (Mostly) cook them in the microwave (until they were just about to start to turn brown but not crisp yet) then transfer them to a baking sheet for three minutes in a 300 degree preheated oven. On the last few slices I had left I tried this method and they came out great.
The reason I am telling you about these chips is because I hope you can find someway to use them! They are a great snack, though not an everyday one due to lots of carbs. I really wanted to try them out because I thought they would make a darling garnish for something. Perhaps on a salad, or an open faced burger, right? So, click on the link above and best of luck to you!
