Microwave Chips / Crisps

Maybe I should not call the Chips / Crisps MW Chips as while we were eating this Hans was saying so this is the Miracle Chips :-)

In our place we have this bad habbit, we buy Chips from the shops .

It is like yeah it is weekend so if we have a drink what are we going to munch on and I am like Ok will buy a pack of chips.

There are so many brands and flavour of chips available that if one stand in front of the section one would be still saying which flavour of which brand to buy.

I admit I do like to eat crisps, but after having a them I am like why did I eat this which is not healthy but can't stop eating them if one start to eat them.

So few days back I was in Pintrest one of my latest craze and while I was there I saw this easy to make MW Chips, I was so excited about it, I literally got up and went to the kitchen and made them.

And I am happy I made them as for sure I am going to make these more often and buy lesser chips from the supermarkets.

Before you start making them please read the tips.

I do agree it takes a bit of time as unlike in the oven you can't use few trays.

I made with 2 potatoes and I think that was enough just for 2 of us.

Tips:

The first batch I made I sliced them thicker and that was like the oven chips we buy, then the second batch I made I sliced them really thin, and Hans loved the thinner ones.

But what I found is if you slice them really thinner you use a bit more oil otherwis it will stick to the plate and even if they stick doesn't matter I used the tip of a sharp knife gave a push and I could slide them.

I also sprinkled well with salt as here we love it salty.

According the the original post of the chips, she said even if you keep the crisp for next days it is still crisp, but I don't know aobut that as mine was finished the day itself :-)

I made them in the afternoon and it was over the day itself.

You would be surprsied to know how many times I went to the kitchen to steel these as I had kept in a tupperware so that Hans and I could enjoy it together when he came home in the evening.

2 big Potatoes, washed .( I used the potatoes which we use to make here french fries)

2 to 3 tbsp of olive oil

Salt according to your taste

Cooking spray

Slice potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds for thicker potato chips. For thinner ones, use a mandolin 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, 3 to 4 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, 2 to 3 minutes .

 Check frequently and rearrange slices as needed to prevent scorching. Transfer chips to another plate and allow to cool completely. (They will crisp up more as they cool.)

Repeat process with remaining slices.
The first pic I took again as this is the third time I am making these delicious chips. So i am giving you the tip again I would suggest slice it thin, even if you have to use a bit more oil as the tinner ones are much more delicious. After the first time in the MW and when you want to turn them it if is sticky what i do is , I use a knife and with the tip i just slide under then it is really easy .
