Microwave potato chips
When I read this recipe the first time I thought it sounded too good to be true but admittedly I still ran to the fridge to grab a potato and try it out. It turns out you can make potato chips (crisps) in the microwave in 5 minutes. They’re crunchy and delicious and much better for you than the store-bought version.
Sliced potatoes
To make potato chips in the oven, very finely slice a potato into rounds and lay them in a single layer on an oiled microwave-safe plate. Spray them with a little oil.
Microwave
Microwave them on high for 2 minutes then take them out and flip them all over then microwave for another 2 minutes.
Cooling
As they cool they will crisp up. Sprinkle them with your favourite seasoning.

Enjoy!
I must apologise to the owner of the blog where I found this originally. I saw it a long time ago and have no idea where it was. Whoever you are, thank you!
I love that you have experimented and improved on this idea to make it even easier for me to make these at any time of the day or night .aaaggghH!!!
Well I tried to do these but was kind of a dismal failure! :( My microwave must be a low voltage as after 2 mins each side nothing was happening so I just kept cooking ended up being around 5 or 6 mins each side but then they started to burn! I’ll just keep playing around I think as they were yummy in the end :)
Sorry they didn’t turn out. I think it might be a bit of a temperamental recipe depending on the microwave and type of plate you use. Good luck!
Oh no, Oh no I love potato chips and all the time I have to keep myself from that isle, now that I can make my own in 5 minutes I’m in big trouble. I might have to stop buying potatoes :))
This is so awesome! I read the heading and my poor little heart skipped a beat lol. Def trying this tonight :)
I made one batch to be ready for Will when he got home for work. Then I ate them and had to make another!
OMG this is a must try! I love potato chips but can’t keep any in the house because I ahem mice eat them ;)
I love these!! I first read about them on my friend the Spice Girl’s blog – that might be what you were looking for?
