Description

Crispy, golden, and shockingly simple, these oil-free microwave potato chips are your new go-to snack. Made with just one potato and a few spices, they deliver crunchy satisfaction in minutes without a drop of oil.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large Russet Potato: thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt: or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder (optional)
  • Water: for soaking slices

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the potato using a mandoline or sharp knife.
  2. Soak the slices in cold water for 5–10 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. Drain and pat the slices dry with a paper towel.
  4. Line a microwave-safe plate with parchment paper.
  5. Arrange potato slices in a single layer on the plate without overlapping.
  6. Sprinkle with salt and optional seasonings.
  7. Microwave on high for 3–5 minutes, then flip each slice and cook another 2–3 minutes until golden and crisp.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Store in an airtight container if saving for later.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline for consistent slices that cook evenly.
  • Dry slices thoroughly for the crispiest results.
  • Cooking time may vary by microwave — watch closely to avoid burning.
