Ingredients

  • Potatoes
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt or other Seasoning
  • Optional: Cooking Spray

Instructions

  • Scrub potatoes well
  • Slice the potatoes as thinly as possible
  • Place potato slices in a bowl and mix with a small amount of olive oil to coat.
  • Spray a microwave safe dinner plate with cooking spray (if you used a lot of olive oil you can skip this step, but I like to use less oil). 
  • Spread the slices out so they aren’t overlapping. If you have any thicker slices, put them on the outer edges. 
  • Sprinkle with salt or other seasoning.
  • Microwave 3-4 minutes (depending on the power of your microwave) – slices should begin to look a little “cooked”.  
  • Flip the slices over, but BE CAREFUL they will be very hot! 
  • Cook another 4 to 5 minutes or until just slightly golden. 
  • The chips will continue to crisp a bit after you take them out of the microwave.
