Potato Chips

Submitted by happynana

"We tried these tonight and they made a delicious treat. Be sure to let them cool all the way. I did minor change for our tastes The recipe is from allrecipes.com and was submitted by Jessica."

 

• Ready In: 27mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (more may be used)
• 1 potato, sliced paper thin (peel optional)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt, to taste
• spices, of your choice (I used Cajun seasoning but think dried dill weed would be great too.)

directions

1. Pour oil into a plastic bag. Add potato slices and shake to coat.
2. Coat a large diner plate lightly with oil or cooking spray. I used a 10 inch casserole dish, using cooking spray.
3. Arrange potato slices in a single layer on the dish.
4. Cook in microwave 3-6 minutes, or until lightly browned (if not browned, they will not become crisp). Times will vary on the power of your microwave. Mine took 6 minutes.
5. Remove chips for plate/dish and sprinkle with salt, and other seasonings, if desired.
6. Let cool.
7. Repeat the process with remaining slices. You will not need to keep oiling the plate/dish.

Who could have guessed that potato chips could be made in the microwave? Not me! LOL But, these were great! I used a glass pie dish, and found that it only took about 2:15m -2:30m for mine to be crispy. (1100w microwave) They are best the first day, and are not greasy at all. :) I will be making these again, for an almost guilt free snack! I had to remind myself to take a pic before I ate them all up! Thanks for sharing, happynana! :)

Delicious! Full of potato flavor and not greasy at all. I've made chips in the oven before, but never thought to use the microwave. It only took about 5 minutes for me. I love salt and black pepper on them. This won't be the last time I make these! Thanks for posting. Made for Aus/NZ recipe swap.

Yum! We all enjoyed this chips. I made two batches because Little Miss (DD) ate the first batch before I could even try it. It took me six minutes for the potatoes to crisp, like the pack of chips you find on the supermarket store. I seasoned with freshly cracked sea salt and Cajun seasoning. Thank you so much for posting your recipe happynana

Very good ... My friend's g/f made them tonight but he is not on Zaar nor is she and since I gave them the recipe, I thought I should rate it. They said it took 10-12 in the micro, but otherwise it was great. They served a sour cream dill sauce with theirs. I did suggest to them to soak in cold water first for about 10 minutes and then dry well which they did. It just helps to crisp up Excellent, crisp, I need to try them myself, but they said it was a piece of cake. They did use russets. I did ask them that and kosher salt vs sea salt, which would not make a difference. Loved them

mmmso good and so easy! Chips using the microwave- my fave shortcut. I zipped mine for 10 mins since it wasn't so paper thin. I used mixed salt and dill as recommended. Will be making more of this! Thank you!
