Microwave Potato Chips

I don't know about you but I am always looking for the next great recipe.  I read many food blogs and am obsessed with Pinterest!  I have seen microwave potato chips popping up all over the place.  People are using regular or sweet potatoes, slicing them thin and microwaving them and then claiming that they make great potato chips.  Well you know what they were right, they are pretty tasty and super easy to make.Give them a shot, you will be happy with this healthy indulgence. I know I love some salty potato chips and these will definitely be made often in my house.

Microwave Potato Chips
Servings: 4
12-14 chips each

1 1/3 pounds potatoes, unpeeled and scrubbed
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
Cooking Spray

Slice potatoes into 1/8 inch slices for thicker chips and if you would like thinner ones then slice them thin on a mandolin. Toss all slices in a bowl with oil and salt and toss to coat evenly.

Coat a microwave safe plate with cooking spray. Arrange potatoes slices in a single layer on the plate (you will have to do more than one batch). Microwave them uncovered, on high, until some of the slices begin to brown around the edges, about 2-3 minutes.  Turn the slices over, be careful they are hot! Continue microwaving them until they start to crisp and brown around the edges.  About 30 seconds for very think slices and 2-4 minutes for thicker slices.  Check them frequently and rearrange slices as needed to prevent scorching.  Transfer the chips to another plate and allow them to cool completely. They will crisp up more as they cool.  Repeat this process with the remaining slices.

Store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days, but I bet they won't last that long!

You can also add different seasonings and spices to the bowl when you toss the slices with the oil and salt, the possibilities are endless on the flavor combinations you can come up with!
