I'm showing you an amazing, no-deep-fry, no-air-fry, no-oven method for making perfectly crisp potato chips in your microwave. Not only is this method fast and easy, but this produced one of the best tasting potato chips I've ever had. I know it sounds too good to be true, but it is.

Time 18m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

parchment paper
1 large russet potato, scrubbed
2 tablespoons canola oil
salt to taste

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.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 large Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1 pound)
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt

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.
