Microwave Potato Chips
If you forgot to get chips or want to try a home-made alternative, this easy recipe is for you!
Equipment
- Microwave
- Resealable bags (1 per flavor)
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized potatoes
- 1 tsp olive oil (for each bag)
- ½ tbsp parmesan cheese and oregano
- ½ tbsp paprika and curry
- ½ tbsp salt and vinegar
Instructions
Preparation
- Slice the potatoes as thin as you can with a sharp knife
- Soak the potato slices in water for a minute. Then, dry well the potato slices with paper towels. This process takes away the starch from the potatoes and it will add some extra crispiness.
- Put a handful of slices in a resealable bag, along with your favorite seasoning (I recommend you to try all of the three in this recipe, they're delicious!)
- Shake the bags to season the chips. You can have some fun while doing it!
- Put the slices on parchment paper, on a plate. Avoid putting the potatoes too close. If they touch between them, they will stick.
Cooking
- Let the potatoes in the microwave for 5 to 7 minutes. You'll know your potatoes are ready when you see some brownish crispiness in them.
- Repeat the process with each batch, with a new piece of parchment paper.
