I'm always looking for fun snacks for the kids. And if they end up being healthier that's always a bonus.
Microwaved potato chips are actually really good! I can't ever make them fast enough for the little mouths and tiny fingers that are always reaching across the counter top to the plate.
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 potato, sliced paper thin (peel optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 potato, sliced paper thin (peel optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Pour the vegetable oil into a plastic bag (a produce bag works well). Add the potato slices, and shake to coat.
Coat a large dinner plate lightly with oil or cooking spray. Arrange potato slices in a single layer on the dish.
Cook in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned (if not browned, they will not become crisp). Times will vary depending on the power of your microwave. Remove chips from plate, and toss with salt (or other seasonings). Let cool. Repeat process with the remaining potato slices. You will not need to keep oiling the plate.

so neat! going to have to tell my husband about this!
ReplyDeleteWe've tried it before and it worked too. When I checked the fridge nothing was in there except for a bag of potatoes. We are hungry that time so what we did was sliced them thinly and put them in the oven and then...eat them all.

I thought you are kidding because I couldn’t imagine a microwave producing crispy chips. After cooking them for 5 minutes they were done, crispy, and wonderful. We now have an idea on how to start a small business because of this post.
