Microwave Potato Crisps

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Microwave Potato Crisps.

1. Step 1

   Start by gathering all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking experience.

2. Step 2

   Next, take a piece of parchment paper and fold it into eighths, just like you would when making a paper airplane.

3. Step 3

   Once folded, place the tip of the parchment in the center of a microwave-safe plate and measure the radius.

4. Step 4

   Trim any excess parchment, then unfold it to create a perfect circle that fits your plate.

5. Step 5

   Now, grab a mandolin and slice the potato into thin rounds, transferring the slices to a bowl filled with cold water.

6. Step 6

   This step is crucial as it helps wash away excess starch, giving you crispier chips.

7. Step 7

   After rinsing, lay the potato slices on a clean kitchen towel and pat them dry, ensuring they’re as moisture-free as possible.

8. Step 8

   Next, brush a light layer of canola oil over the parchment paper.

9. Step 9

   In batches, arrange the potato slices on the oiled parchment, making sure they don’t overlap.

10. Step 10

    Give the tops of the slices another gentle brush with oil for that perfect crisp.

11. Step 11

    Now it’s time to microwave! Start by cooking the potato slices for 3 and a half minutes.

12. Step 12

    After that, flip them over and continue microwaving until they turn golden brown and firm, which should take about 4 more minutes.

13. Step 13

    Keep an eye on them to avoid any burning mishaps.

14. Step 14

    Once they’re done, transfer the chips to a cool plate and sprinkle with salt to taste.

15. Step 15

    Let them cool for a bit before serving, and don’t forget to repeat the process with the remaining potato slices.

16. Step 16

    Enjoy your homemade potato chips, perfect for snacking or sharing with friends!.
