Homemade Flavored Potato Chips

I never thought I would see the day when I would be able to make my own Potato Chips in a Microwave. Yes, I just said Microwave.

Try this for yourself with one small Potato to see if you like it.


Heres whatcha do.

  1. Slice Potato into almost paper-thin slices.
  2. Grab a non-plastic plate and place a little bit of Olive Oil on it.
  3. Place Potatoes on plate(Single layer if you want it crispier, multiple layer for saggier) and add little more Olive Oil on it.
  4. Season to taste. ( I will provide a few quick ideas at the bottom)
  5. Microwave on High for 2 minutes( for slightly soggier chips) to 5 minutes( For crispier ones) If you go beyond 5 minutes your end result will be soaking the plate to get the slices off.
  6. Let stand for a few moments or minutes (depending on how long you can resist). Caution! The plate will be burning hot.



Seasonings:
The Classic: Just Salt, Seasalt would be a nice alternative.
Just Seasoned: aka with Seasoning Salt. Salt, Sugar, Paprika, Onion, Garlic.
Steak Flavored: Montreal Steak Seasonings. McCormick does not give their secrets away.
Italian Flavored: aka with Italian Seasoning or Oregano, Basil, Rosemary, Parsley, Garlic, Salt, and Parmesan Cheese.
Spicy Hot Cajun: Salt, Cayenne Pepper, Basil, Garlic, Onion, Black Pepper and Paprika.

Vast continuum

Days go by with out a notice. Bodies moving forward our minds in the past. Move forward they say! So we push through the endurances with our best effort forth. Moving forward leaving other priorities askew. Moving moving moving. F o r w a r d . Does it ever end?
