Microwave Potato Chips
This Microwave Potato Chips recipe is easy and healthy and it also produces the best-tasting potato chips. Here is a no-deep fry, no-air-fry, no-oven method for making perfectly crisp potato chips in the microwave.
Ingredients
- 1 Russet Potato
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- Salt To taste
Equipment
- Parchment Paper
- Microwave Safe Dish
- Mandolin For slicing, or knife
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Kitchen Towel
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients.
- 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, or a knife, 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 the 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.

Notes
- Cooking times depend on the power of your microwave.
- Potato chips don’t crisp up fully until they cool down. If chips aren’t crispy, they need to cook longer. Cooled chips can be re-microwaved for a minute to re-crisp.
