Ingredients

2 large Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1 pound)

3 tablespoons olive oil 

Kosher salt

Directions

Special equipment:
a mandolin
  1. 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.
  2. 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.

I just made this tonight, following the recipe exactly but having to add another minute on after turning. They are crispy and delicious right out of the microwave. However, after just a few minutes they are no longer crispy and get very chewy. So, unless you stand there and eat them right away this is not a recipe that is worth it.
