What wattage microwave is being used in this recipe. Why is that no longer mentioned in MW recipes?

Mine turned out great--I actually needed less cooking time. If sliced too thin, they tend to stick to the paper towels. Great lower-fat alternative when nothing else will do but potato chips!

I followed the directions exactly. They were raw after the cooking time. I ended up adding 10 minutes and ended up with a cooked but doughy chip. The flavor left a lot to be desired. I was very unhappy. I made very sure to slice them correctly and to watch the time and the power.

I made these for myself using 1/2 potato and they were delicious. I will make them again. They make a great snack at any time!
