    Microwave Potato Chips

    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

      I used to love potato chips as a kid, never eat them anymore because they are so unhealthy. I’m trying this!

          I will probably bake it, instead of using microwave. Have you tried it baked? I make baked fries, not a fan of french fries.
