Homemade Potato Chips

Maybe I am the last person to find out about this, but I just have to share.  Today, while perusing snack recipes on allrecipes.com, I found a recipe for microwaved homemade potato chips.  I was skeptical, but it was highly rated by reviewers so I tried it tonight.

I am happy to report that it works and it couldn't be easier to make.  All you need is a washed potato, a mandolin slicer or something similar to slice the potato into thin chips, a bit of olive oil and something to season it with.

First, I washed my potato and sliced it thin using my mandolin slicer.

I had a few drops of olive oil waiting for the slices in the bowl

 I tossed them with a pinch of seasoned salt like a salad

I layed them single file on a plate in my microwave and nuked them for 5 minutes... 

and then for another three minutes...  

until they came out crisp and a bit golden brown.  

Some microwaves cook faster than others so you should check them every few minutes.  

Here's a link to the original recipe 

For those folks that do not use microwaves, due to the radiation or electricity usage, you can do this in your oven instead.

Have a great night all.  Goodnight!
