How to Make Potato Chips in the Microwave

Step 1:

Clean the skin of the potatoes first. Remove all the dust and soil, especially in the crevices. Rinse with water and pat dry.

Step 2:

Using a mandoline, slice the potatoes as thinly as possible. If you don’t have a mandoline, slice the potatoes by hand using a sharp knife.

Step 3:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the thinly sliced potatoes on the parchment paper in a single layer, then lightly coat them with cooking spray or oil.

Step 4:

Season them however you like. You can just sprinkle salt and pepper, or use the combinations.

Step 5:

Place the parchment paper with the potato slices in the microwave. Microwave until they start to turn a little bit brown. Start with just 5 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.

Step 6:

Transfer to your serving plate and serve with your preferred dip. Enjoy!
