Microwaved potato chips
What the eff?! I know, right?
It's not the fact that they're made in the microwave..it's the fact that I actually decided to make them instead of shelling out a buck or two for a whole bag! Haha. But what can I say.. it was super cold outside last week and I had time on my hands along with a handful of baby potatoes that I had a feeling were about to sprout. I put them to good use!
This snack is relatively low in fat, considering the only fat you end up using is a spurt or two of cooking spray. This, I like. :)
Get your potatoes and give them a good scrub down. We're not peeling them, so wash them well!
If you have a mandoline, slice them up as thin as you can. If you don't, work those knife skills!
Place the taters on some paper towel to dry off a bit, get yourself a microwave safe dish (Pyrex) and a sheet of parchment. Lightly oil (Pam) it and place the potato slices on to it. Season with salt, pepper, herbs, garlic etc.
Set your microwave on high, in 3 minute intervals. It may take more or less time depending on the power/potato/thickness. Not before long, you'll see the potatoes slowly morphing into chips before your eyes! As soon as they're as gold as you like them to be, stop and BAM. Done. I like them dipped in ketchup. Yumm!
