Microwave Potato Chips

From EatingWell: January/February 2009, January/February 1997

You don't need a deep fryer to make crispy potato chips. We toss thinly sliced potatoes with just a touch of olive oil, pop them in the microwave and voilÃ ! Crispy, crunchy homemade potato chips with 8 grams less fat per serving than regular chips.

READER'S COMMENT:

"Amazing! I made them for the first time today, I had to use virgin olive oil because I had no spray on, took a little longer but the crunch was still there. So much cheaper than buying chips and better than waiting an hour for them to...

6 HOURS FOR A BAG OF CHIPS

THEY TASTE GOOD BUT TAKE ABOUT 6 MINUTES PER BATCH AND YOU CAN ONLY MAKE 10-20 CHIPS PER BATCH IN A SINGLE LATER. YOU DO THE MATH. BETTER OFF BAKING THEM.

Pros: TASTE GOOD

These took me 45 mins to make

These took me 45 mins to make 200 grams of chips, which is what's in a large bag of Lays. That actually makes more chips than you'd find in Lays because of the fat weight in the Lays. It is a time commitment, but I do it while I'm doing other things in the kitchen. And I usually only make 80 grams at a time (300 grams raw potatoes, 18 minutes), which is plenty for 2 people. These are worth it for the health factor and use less energy and time than baking them. Also, they taste fantastic! Great recipe.

impressed

I wasn't too sure about this recipe, so I did an experiment. I followed this recipe and I place some in the oven. And I have to say this one came out better. I got a thumbs up from my 5 year old daughter which is a big deal from a very picky eater.

Pros: crispy,healthy, favor.
