Microwave Potato Chips

You may not have thought it was possible, but you can make crispy potato chips in the microwave. Despite sounding like a health disaster, this recipe uses very little oil. In fact, if you have some parchment lying around, you can get away with using no oil at all. That's right, absolutely no oil for the extremely health conscious folk out there (you know who you are). Here's how it goes.

Ingredients:
1 small potato sliced into 1/8 inch thick pieces
Table salt (coarse salt is too coarse for this)
Cooking spray or vegetable oil (optional but recommended)

Steps:

-Start by slicing your potato (rinsed well) into 1/8 inch thick pieces using something like an adjustable mandolin slicer or a knife if you're real pro and stuff.

-Find the largest dish you can that will fit comfortably in your microwave and line it with parchment paper (if you don't have parchment, this can still work, but you will have to oil your dish well).

-(This step is optional, but highly recommended as it will yield better results):
Spray the parchment with cooking spray or brush lightly with vegetable oil. Then, lightly sprinkle some salt directly onto the parchment

-Lay as many potato slices as you can onto the oiled parchment with some space in between (about a centimeter or two).

-Lightly sprinkle salt onto the potato slices

-Cook the potato slices in the microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes.

-Flip the potato slices over and set the microwave on HIGH for 1 minute this time, but don't leave just yet. In this stage, give your slices love and attention, otherwise they will go from light brown to toast in a matter of seconds.

-In this last minute of cooking, monitor the chips closely. Once a few of the potatoes become slightly browned, immediately turn the microwave off.

-Repeat the cooking process until you have no more potato slices left.

-Taste one potato chip to see if you need more seasoning. Most likely, this won't be necessary. Then enjoy!
