Start learning to use your microwave oven and save time in the kitchen! Slicing potatoes more thinly has the effect of microwave-drying the slices similarly to the way an oven would dry them.  Added fat (olive oil) gets extremely hot (400+ degrees) and “browns” the potatoes. This recipe is also perfect for busy cooks who enjoy a good homely meal.
