Ingredients

  • 1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla, divided
  • 1/2 c. finely chopped walnuts
  • 1 loaf French bread
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 c. heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1 jar apricot preserves
  • 1/2 c. orange juice

Method

  • Use microwavable roasting rack or cookie sheet and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Wash and slice unpeeled potatoes as thin as possible, 1/8-inch or less.
  • Russet or new potatoes work well.
  • Only slice what will fit on one cooking tray, usually one medium-sized potato.
  • Place slices of potato on sheet in a single layer.
  • Leave plain or sprinkle with any seasoning like salt-free Mrs. Dash, Lawry's seasoned lite salt, granulated garlic or powder, granulated onion or powder, or mix your own.
  • Cook 8 to 10 minutes on High (100% power), uncovered, until the potatoes turn light brown.
  • Rotate the cooking tray once if the potatoes are cooking unevenly.
  • More time may be required if they are wet or if a larger cooking tray is used.
  • Cool after cooking and store in Ziploc bags.
  • Will keep well 2 to 3 weeks or more.
