We started out trying to make the microwave potato chips recipe from the zaar site, and soon realized that we had way too many potatos cut to make them this way. So I quickly found this recipe to substitute for the other. They turned out very well, though some cooked more quickly than others. Probably due to uneven thickness of the potato chips. This sure was a healthier way to make a good snack! We also substituted seasoning salt in place of the thyme, that was great.

Easy and tasty. I used olive oil and my slicer sliced them a bit thicker, so I had to use my convection setting to get them to crisp.

Made these the same week I tried microwave potato chips from this same site. The oven chips cooked unevenly and were far greasier than their microwave cousins. My vote goes to Uncle Bill's microwave chips, even though they're time-consuming (because only small batches fit into the microwave).

soooo yummy. i used seasoning salt before i put them in the oven and sprinkled shredded parm on top two minutes before they were done. fantastic! i love chips but ones from the store taste so greasy! i love that some are slightly more crunchy than others. keeper!

I made some changes- we had red potatoes so I used them. And I used EVOO. We really loved the way that these came out. I think I had sliced mine a little too thick so we did have to cook for 20 min then flip for another 10 min, but my bf couldn't keep his hands out of the first batch while I finished a second batch. This is definitely a keeper.
