Crispy Microwave Potato Chips
Description
Crispy Microwave Potato Chips are made by slicing medium-sized potatoes very thinly and soaking them in ice water to remove starch that might cause sogginess. After drying, the slices are arranged on a parchment-lined microwave-safe plate, brushed lightly with olive oil, and seasoned with either salt or one of two optional seasoning blends: BBQ flavor with smoked paprika and chili powder or ranch flavor with dried herbs and spices.
The microwave cooking yields chips that are crispy and lighter than traditional fried chips. The method avoids using a conventional oven or fryer, making it convenient for quick preparation with limited equipment.
These chips can serve as a snack or side dish. The recipe notes mention flexibility in potato choice, including russet, golden, or red potatoes, each contributing slightly different textures and flavors.
The notes also suggest that the potato slices can be prepared in advance and refrigerated in water for later cooking. For those preferring oven baking, the chips can be baked at 350°F (180°C) using parchment paper, with stirring to promote even cooking.
