Amazing discovery. One can make homemade potato chips in under ten minutes.
The amazing part is, these are not deep-fried but have a very similar texture. Reduced mess, reduced calories, reduced reliance on excessive packaging and processed ickiness. Equal yumminess, added customization, the only problem is that these go FAST.
Behold. Microwaved potato chips.
Yes, microwaved. I'm not a master of the microwave and would tend to choose oven/toaster over microwave whenever possible. But I found this "recipe" and thought I would give it a shot. It's not really a recipe, more of a set of instructions.
1. Grab a clean potato and slice it as thin as you possibly can.
2. Season with a drizzle of olive oil. I also added fresh ground salt and pepper here.
3. Put a single layer on a plate. Put in microwave on high for 2-3 min, turn over, and blast for 2-3 min more until just slightly browned (really depends on the microwave so just keep watching it).
4. Remove and let cool before eating because it continues to crisp up after it comes out of the microwave.
And that's really all there is to it. Magical.
