Serves: 4 potatoes = 5 people
If the potatoes are new or have good skins, DO NOT PEEL, just scrub well, then slice them less than 1/16" in thickness (paper thin), slicing across the potato.
Sprinkle with your choice of herbs or spices or just leave them plain. Cover with a microwaveable, round heavy plastic cover.
Microwave on HIGH (full power) for 8 to 8 1/2 minutes or until they curl slightly and are a very light brown in color. You do not have to turn the sliced potatoes over.
Use a microwave safe casserole dish. Rub the inside of the dish with some olive oil for the first batch of potato chips. I do not know why, but I find that if you do not rub oil the first time, some chips will tend to stick to the dish. After the first batch is done, you do not have to rub the dish again. Continue to microwave the remainder of sliced potatoes as noted above.
***You can also use PARCHMENT PAPER to microwave the potato slices. Lightly spray or rub the parchment paper with some vegetable oil or a Pam spray. Place your potato slices on the parchment paper, and then sprinkle them with whatever you like and then place another piece of parchment paper on top. This will help microwave the potatoes more evenly and they should turn out nice and crisp. Microwaving time should be between 5 and 6 minutes.
Tips: Works best with parchment paper. Will become crisp once removed from the microwave. Use a cheese slicer to cut the potatoes.
