Microwave Crisps



Ingredients:



600g Roosters red potatoes, unpeeled and scrubbed

2 teaspoons of extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

Cooking spray







Method:

Slice potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds for thicker potato chips.

For thinner ones if you have a mandolin use it to cut very thin slices. 

Toss slices in a medium bowl with oil and salt to coat evenly.
Coat a large microwave-proof plate with cooking spray.

Arrange some potato slices in a single layer on the plate.

Microwave, uncovered, on High until some slices start to brown, 2 to 3 minutes 
(depending upon potato thickness and microwave power). 

Turn slices over (they will be hot, so take care with your fingers) and continue microwaving 
until they start to crisp and brown around the edges, about 35 seconds for very thin potato slices 
to 2 to 4 minutes for thicker slices. 

Check frequently and rearrange slices as needed to prevent scorching. 

Transfer chips to another plate and allow to cool completely (they'll crisp up more as they cool) 
and repeat the process with remaining slices.
