Cut the potato in slices, about 1/2 cm each. With skin and all.
Put the slices on a plate, and then let microware for about 5 mins, then
turn the potatoes over, and microwave again for 5 mins, then check for
doneness, and if more time is needed put them more in the microwave oven.

This can also be done in the normal oven, but then put on a Teflon covered
cookie sheet, one squirt of Pam and make it cover all the cookie sheet.
They take at least 15 mins per side.

Both ways they are delicious.
A good snack, and no fat or salt. Some people add salt or other things
later on. They are super crispy.
I have been making than nearly daily, and they are a good snack.

You can also do this with yams. And they come out delicious.
