Microwave potato chips are a homemade alternative to store-bought chips, requiring just potatoes, salt, pepper, and a few drops of olive oil. The thin slices are first soaked in water to remove starch, then dried, seasoned, and drizzled with oil. They are microwaved in batches for three minutes on each side. Serve them as a salty snack for movie night or a party.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Cut the potatoes into thin slices and soak them in water to remove starch.
Dry the slices, season with salt and pepper to taste, and drizzle with a little olive oil.
Microwave the slices for 3 minutes, then flip them and microwave for another 3 minutes. Repeat in batches until all the potatoes are cooked.

Tip: Microwave power varies, so watch the first batch and adjust the timing for subsequent batches accordingly. The chips will firm up after you take them out, so they are done when the edges begin to turn golden.
