Microwave potato chips

Potato chips are one of the most popular and well-known snacks enjoyed by both children and adults. They pair perfectly with almost any beverage and make a great addition to lemonade, tea, as well as various alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails.

A great alternative to store-bought snacks is homemade potato chips cooked in the microwave without excess salt or oil. These healthy homemade chips are better for your well-being and contain no preservatives, flavor enhancers, artificial additives, or other unwanted chemicals. Another advantage is that you can customize them according to your personal taste preferences by adding your favorite herbs and spices or leaving out ingredients you do not enjoy.

According to the classic potato chips recipe, only salt and ground black pepper are added. However, you can also season your chips with paprika, coriander, dried herbs (dill, parsley, cilantro, savory, and others), or any spices of your choice..

Ingredients

To make homemade microwave potato chips (2 servings), you will need:

• 3–4 medium-sized potatoes;
• 1 teaspoon salt;
• ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper;

Step-by-step instructions

Peel the potatoes, wash them thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Slice the potatoes as thinly as possible using a sharp knife or a vegetable slicer. Place the potato slices in a bowl, add salt and black pepper, and mix well.

Let the mixture rest for 10–15 minutes. Drain any excess liquid released by the potatoes. Arrange the slices in a single layer on baking parchment placed on a microwave-safe plate.

Cook in the microwave for approximately 5 minutes at 700 watts, or until the chips become golden and crispy.

Your crispy microwave potato chips are ready to enjoy once they have cooled. If desired, sprinkle them with additional spices or seasonings before serving.

Notes:

If you prefer more aromatic and flavorful homemade snacks, try adding black cumin flour and chili pepper along with black pepper. A light sprinkle of sesame flour or mustard flour will give the chips unique nutty flavor notes.

Natural, low-fat flour made from black cumin, sesame, mustard, and other seeds is always available from CraftOil, a Ukrainian online store specializing in craft products and certified equipment.
