Yes, You Can Really Make Potato Chips In The Microwave
By Greta Pano
You can make delicious, crispy microwave potato chips in as little as 15 minutes, including 8 to 10 minutes of cooking time.
You'll need russet potatoes and seasonings like parmesan cheese, pepper, salt, and garlic powder. To spice them up a bit, try adding chili powder, cayenne pepper, or paprika.
For the best, crunchiest microwave potato chips, slice them super thin with a mandoline so they cook evenly, and soak them in cold water to reduce their starch content.
It's also imperative to coat your microwave-safe plate with olive oil before cooking the potatoes. This will add flavor, help the chips get crispy, and prevent them from sticking.
Microwave potato chips are a healthier alternative to store-bought chips because they aren't deep fried in oil and don’t contain unhealthy preservatives for a long shelf-life.
They also contain fewer calories, and you can add as much salt and other seasonings as you want to complement their natural flavor and make them delicious and unique.
