Deep fried in oil, high in calorie - yet can't say no to potato chips. I always had an idea of baking chips, like baking fries, but kept postponing. Saturday evenings call for a quick snack. I tried chips using microwave, and I am happy to have a quick snack with less oil.
Method:
- Place potato in salt water for 10 minutes to remove the starch in potato. Rinse the potato under running water. spread them on a paper towel and pat to dry. Remove all the moisture in the potato
- In a bowl add potato, salt, basil and give a gentle mix
- Grease genorusly the plate with oil/cooking spray.
- Spread potato on the plate/parchment paper. Spread in such a way that there is no overlap
- Cook potatoes start to turn brown. It took 4-5 minutes in my microwave. Turn the chips in between (After 2-3 minutes) to continue even browning. Watch the last minute
Ingredients
- Potato - 1 medium peeled, thinly sliced
- Salt - as needed
- Dry basil - 1/8 teaspoon optional
- Cooking spray/oil - to grease I used cooking spray
