Ingredients for Microwave Potato Chips:

• 1 large Russet potato, scrubbed
• 2 tbsp of canola oil
• Salt, to taste

How to Make Microwave Potato Chips:

Step 1

Prepare the parchment paper first as demonstrated in the video, then using a mandolin, cut the scrubbed potatoes into thin slices, and place them in a bowl filled with cold water. After most of the starch is rinsed off the potato slices, transfer them to a clean kitchen towel, then blot them with a paper towel until dry.

Step 2

Brush some oil over the prepared parchment paper, then place as many potato slices as you can fit, and brush the top with more oil. Place them in the microwave, then cook them for about 3½ minutes, flip them over, and cook them for another 4 minutes or more.

Step 3

Make sure to check them from time to time so they don’t burn, then once done cooking, transfer the chips to a cold plate, and season them with salt. Cook the remaining potato slices, then let them cool, and serve with your favorite dipping on the side. Enjoy!
