Enjoy a quick and healthy snack with these homemade microwave potato chips, perfect for any occasion.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired.
Peeling is optional; leaving the skin on adds extra texture and nutrients.
Slice the potatoes thinly, about 1/16 inch thick, using a sharp knife.
Use a mandoline slicer for uniform slices if available.
Pat the potato slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Removing moisture helps achieve a crispier texture.
Lightly coat a microwave-safe plate with olive oil.
Ensure the plate is evenly coated to prevent sticking.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the plate.
Avoid overlapping slices for even cooking.
Sprinkle the slices with salt and any desired seasonings.
Experiment with different seasonings like paprika or garlic powder.
Microwave the slices on high power for 5-6 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.
Cooking time may vary based on microwave wattage; monitor closely to avoid burning.
Let the chips cool for a few minutes before serving.
Cooling allows the chips to crisp up further.
