Microwave Potato Chips Recipe
Recipe Type:
Appetizer,
Potatoes,
Potato Chips
Yields: serves
many
Prep time: 20 min
Bake time: 10 min
Ingredients:
4 medium potatoes (Idaho,
russet, yellow gold, or red potatoes)
Herbs, your choice (granulated garlic powder, seasoning salt,
chili or cayenne pepper, dried dill weed, Old Bay Seasoning, etc.)
Preparation:
Peel the potatoes. Using a
mandoline or a thin, sharp knife, slice potatoes approximately 1/16-inch
to 1/8 inch-thick.
To remove potato starch, rinse the slices in a bowl
of cold water; change the water twice. Pat the slices thoroughly dry
with paper towels.
Sprinkle sliced potatoes with your choice of spices or herbs or just
leave them plain.
If
you have a microwave bacon tray, place the sliced potatoes flat on the
tray in a single layer. If you do not
have a bacon tray, use a microwave-safe casserole dish. Rub the inside of the dish with some olive oil
or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Cover with a microwaveable, round heavy plastic cover. Microwave
on HIGH for 4 minutes; turn slices over and continue to microwave on
high another 3 to 5 minutes. Potatoes are done when they are lightly
browned (if they aren't browned, they won't get crisp).
NOTE:
Cooking time could vary slightly, depending on
the wattage of your microwave and the thickness of the chips.
