Lazy Microwave Potato Chips Recipes

Steps:

• Thinly slice the potatoes about 1/16-inch thick using a mandolin. Put the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and stir to release the starch. Drain and refill the water as many times as necessary until the water remains clear. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Transfer the potatoes to the paper towels and pat dry.
• Line a large microwave-safe plate (the biggest that will fit in your microwave) with two layers of paper towel. Arrange as many potato slices on the paper towels as will fit in one layer without touching. Lightly brush the potatoes on both sides with oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Microwave at full power for 3 minutes. Flip the slices over and microwave at 60-percent power until crispy and golden brown in spots, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the chips to a serving bowl and repeat with the remaining potatoes.

Steps:

• Fold a piece of parchment paper into eighths, paper airplane-style. Place the tip of the folded parchment in the center of a microwave-safe plate and measure the radius; cut remaining parchment off and unfold into a circle to fit the plate.
• Slice potato thinly using a mandolin and transfer to a bowl of cold water; rinse off as much starch as possible. Transfer potato slices to a clean kitchen towel to dry; blot tops as well to ensure they are as dry as possible.
• Brush some oil over the parchment paper. Working in batches, place as many potato slices on the oiled parchment that will fit; brush tops of slices with more oil.
• Cook in a microwave for 3 ½ minutes. Flip and continue to cook until browned and stiff, about 4 minutes more, checking the appearance often to make sure they don't burn.
• Transfer chips to a cold plate and season with salt. Let cool before serving. Continue with remaining potato slices.

Steps:

• Poke the potato 4 to 5 times on each side with a fork. Wet a clean sheet of paper towel with water and wring out any excess moisture. Wrap the damp paper towel around the potato and place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Remove the paper towel and flip the potato over.
• Drizzle the potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Microwave on high, uncovered, 3 minutes more (see Cook's Note). Use a fork to test for doneness. If the potato is not done, cook in 1-minute intervals until the fork can easily pierce the flesh. Serve with the butter and more salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Wash potato but do not peel it (I said this was lazy).
• Slice potato very thinly. (I used a microplane).
• Spray a flat microwavable dish with cooking oil spray.
• Lay potato slices on the dish in a single layer (do not overlap).
• Lightly salt potato slices.
• Microwave for approximately 5 - 5.5 minutes.

Steps:

• On a cutting board, slice the potato into ⅛-inch (3 mm) slices.
• Dry the potato slices with a paper towel until there is no more moisture.
• Transfer the sliced potatoes to a bowl and coat in olive oil.
• Wipe down a large flat microwavable-safe plate with olive oil to prevent the chips from sticking.
• Place the chips on the plate in an even layer and sprinkle with salt.
• Microwave the chips on high for 6-7 minutes or until the chips just start to brown. When the chips develop some color remove them from the microwave and slowly peel from the plate. If chips are sticking, they can also be flipped halfway through!
• Repeat this process until all the potato slices are cooked.
• Enjoy!
