  I dunno - seems like an awful amount of work for 80 chips (4 servings - 20 chips per serving) I just slice mine - spray with a little butter pam - sprinkle with a little salt and bake them in the oven. Sometimes instead of salt I'll sprinkle with a little cinammon and sugar. - 9/10/12

  this sounds good but I think I'd stick to cooking them in the oven. why waste paper bags when I can wash & reuse pans. - 9/9/12

  I just made these and they are great. I didn't have any spray oil so I thought I would see if they work with no oil - and they do. I made a paper bag in to an accordion and sat the thinly sliced sweet potato on the folds so that no pieces were touching and microwaved. I now have lovely, crispy chips - 9/11/12

  I cooked the potatoes 5 minutes on high, let set 1 minute and set the timer for another 4 minutes of cooking...after 2 additional minutes they were totally burnt. - 9/9/12

  I make these in the oven as well--I try not to microwave unless I really need to--and I can make a mess o' chips with 2 racks and 2 pans...half sweet and half savory. - 3/19/13

  @BRUNO327 - It looks like the chips are cooked ON the accordion-folded bag, to keep them upright and separated...if you look at the 2nd additional photo near the top. (Thanks to whoever added that - I was confused, too!) - 9/9/12

  Not a review but a question. Since many of the recipes from Meg have very inaccurate photos and there is no tab to attach your own photo, how is it that there are 2 photos from members when there is no link to post one? Can someone from SP answer that question? - 9/9/12

  These were fabulous! Two tips...cut as thin as possible and try to make thickness uniform. My thicker slices were a little chewy, but the thinnest slices were crispy and perfect. I definitely will make these again. Maybe I'll let my honey have some next time. - 9/9/12

  I would not make this with brown paper bags. Who knows what went into making the bags? I am into recycling and that's great -- but when I microwave, I only use glass. Never plastic or paper. The idea of the off-gasses is too scary. Recipe sounds delicious, tho! Maybe I will try it in my oven. - 9/9/12

  Good tip re: Grinding the salt. Thanks to other SP members for the comments about how to cook (accordian shape folded paper bag) & directing us to the other pic. - 9/9/12

  I used the slicer side of my cheese grater - wafer thin 4 mins in microwave for sweet potato, 3 mins for potato, 6 mins for carrots, 6 mins for onions. I just used parchment paper (over and over again). They were being eaten faster than I could cook them! Delicious. - 6/13/16

  Wow, this was great! I put a little cinnamon on the potatoes before I nuked them and they turned out great. The only problem was that they were soooo good that I ate all 4 portions. - 5/30/14

  This works with any type of potato or almost any veg. -Last night I made chips using fresh okra pods sliced in half longways - delish and crispy - not slimy at all - green beans cut lengthwise are great too. I always use my oven for this. - 9/12/13

  Interesting has anyone tried to do this in a dehydrator? Just wondering if the temp is to low in a dehydrator? Hmmmm maybe I will do an experiment!! - 11/28/12

  I am still undecided on this recipe. While I like the taste, I don't like the method. It may just be my microwave. I also can do a larger batch in the oven with crispier chips. My microwave seems to turn mine to a leathery consistency even when sliced thinly with my veggie slicer.Good crunchy snack - 11/8/12

  I did according to the recipe. The potatos were like rubber. Now they are in the oven. Won't be going to this trouble again any time soon. Also, be careful of paper at 450. It may burn or carch fire. - 12/11/15

  Do you peel the sweet potatoes first? The directions don't match the comments, the recipe doesn't say anything about paper bags or folding accordiaon style. The directions don't match the spices in the ingredient list. I also don't see any of the pictures being referred to. - 7/27/15

  I kept reducing the amount of time in the microwave but still only had about 10 edible chips. The rest were totally burned. I guess I'll try it in the oven sometime. - 11/13/13

  I read the recipe as "filing" the slices into the folds of the bags, like an accordion file - that second photo clinches it! - 9/9/12

  Or are the chips actually cooked in a folded bag or on a folded bag?
  Is the bag just used to hold the pieces separated?
