Ingredients and method to make Microwave Potato chips/Crisps
2 or 3 white potatoes
a small pinch of salt
small pinch of chili powder ( optional )
a few drops of oil
Wash the potatoes well and peel skin if using old potatoes,for new ones you can keep the skin
Slice the potato thinly
Grease a microwave safe plate or a microwave safe dish with a few drops of oil
Place the sliced potatoes on the plate/dish.Take care not to overlap the slices as it will stick together and not become crispy enough.
Place dish in the microwave and heat for about 5-8 minutes (it will depend on the thickness of the slices and the wattage of the microwave)
Flip the slices once during the cook time
Place the chips/crisps in a bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and chili powder and mix well
Store in an airtight container.
Notes:
In case you are making more than one batch of these do remember to re-grease the dish/plate between batches as otherwise the potatoes tend to stick to them.
Also remember that if the potatoes are sliced so thin as to be almost transparent,they will surely stick to the plate,make the slice thin but not thin enough to be transparent.
