Microwave potato chipsĀ are one of my kids favorite after school snacks. They are easy to make and are made from natural ingredients. Potatoes, sea salt, and olive oil. That’s it!
Microwave Potato Chips
Slice 2 potatoes nice and thin. Spray (or brush) a platter/plate with a light coat of olive oil (I like the spray can olive oil that you can buy near the non-stick cooking spray). Arrange potatoes in a single layer. Spray (or brush) top of potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
Microwave 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Every microwave cooks differently so just check it around 6-8 minutes and add minutes if needed. The chips need to be golden for them to crisp up nicely.
Since there are no preservatives, they are only good when they are fresh. They will become soft if left to sit over night.

I’m off to read more. You’ve kept me busy the past 30 minutes or so, I bet more to go.
Take care and God Bless!!!

so neat! going to have to tell my husband about this!
We’ve tried it before and it worked too. When I checked the fridge nothing was in there except for a bag of potatoes. We are hungry that time so what we did was sliced them thinly and put them in the oven and then…eat them all.

I thought you are kidding because I couldnāt imagine a microwave producing crispy chips. After cooking them for 5 minutes they were done, crispy, and wonderful. We now have an idea on how to start a small business because of this post.
shut the front door! are you serious?! I thought the post was a trick title or something but its not, ok you got my attention. I am so going to try this, what an awesome after school snack especially when dinner is running late (cause mama was busy crafting). seriously I love that you know exactly what is in your chip, and can jazz up the flavors with spices and such. knnnnnnnnuckles my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha! Yes! NO trick! I hope you like them as much as we do!
Sounds yummy and easy, I will have to give this a try! š Stopping by from Friday Finds Linky Party. š
That’s impressive. I never would have thought to use a microwave. Smarts beans š Great photos too.
I’m intrigued!! I have serious addiction issues when it come to potato chips, so this might be something I need to try!
