I didn't know you could make potato chips in the microwave. But you can. And we did. They were awesome! I couldn't make them fast enough for the little mouths and tiny fingers reaching to the plate on the counter top this afternoon. We'll be making these again for sure!
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 potato, sliced paper thin (peel optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Pour the vegetable oil into a plastic bag (a produce bag works well). Add the potato slices, and shake to coat.
Coat a large dinner plate lightly with oil or cooking spray. Arrange potato slices in a single layer on the dish.
Cook in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned (if not browned, they will not become crisp). Times will vary depending on the power of your microwave. Remove chips from plate, and toss with salt (or other seasonings). Let cool. Repeat process with the remaining potato slices. You will not need to keep oiling the plate.
***Ours took about 6 minutes to microwave***

This sounds so yummy and I bet my daycare little ones would love them too. Thanks for sharing, we'll have to give it a shot next week.
I'm off to read more. You've kept me busy the past 30 minutes or so, I bet more to go.
Take care and God Bless!!!
Sounds great!

so neat! going to have to tell my husband about this!
We've tried it before and it worked too. When I checked the fridge nothing was in there except for a bag of potatoes. We are hungry that time so what we did was sliced them thinly and put them in the oven and then...eat them all.

I thought you are kidding because I couldn’t imagine a microwave producing crispy chips. After cooking them for 5 minutes they were done, crispy, and wonderful. We now have an idea on how to start a small business because of this post.
