How to make?
To prepare your fries in the microwave, you need to slice the potatoes as thinly as possible. You can achieve this using a vegetable slicer, a multiprocessor or even a very sharp knife.
Next, you must place the potato slices in the fried water. After soaking for a few minutes, the excess starch from the potatoes is eliminated and this makes them “fry” faster. Then, you must rinse the potatoes and dry them with the help of clean dish towels.
Then, just place the slices on a paper towel, leaving a reasonable space between them. The slices should also never be on top of each other.
To season, use a drizzle of olive oil on the slices, sprinkle with salt to taste and aromatic herbs of your choice, such as rosemary, oregano and so on. If you like, a little black pepper is also good.
Place in the microwave at maximum power for 3 minutes. Turn the beeches over and turn the oven to 50% power for another 3 minutes. If necessary, repeat the process for another minute until the slices are toasted.
