- After the time has elapsed, we drain and dry the potato rolls, place them on the side of a clean cloth, cover them with the other half and press in order to absorb the water well.
- We put two sheets of absorbent kitchen paper on a plate; arrange a layer of potato slices without placing one on top of the other.

- After this time, we carefully take out the dish, taking into account that it will be very hot, and turn the potato slices over.
- If we notice that the paper is wet, we change it for another.
- We reintroduce the potato chips in the microwave at maximum power, for 1-2 minutes. We remove the snacks and repeat this process until we finish all the potato slices.
