It's hard to believe that homemade potato chips can be made in the microwave. They can and surprisingly turn out so good, delicious and crunchy!
2 large (1 lb.) Yukon Gold potatoes
3 T. olive oil
Kosher salt
Using a mandoline slicer, carefully slice the potatoes thinly, about 1/16 inch thick.
Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water; stir to release the starch, which helps them crisp up; drain; refill the water as many times as necessary until the water turns clear.
Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Transfer potato slices on the paper towels in a single layer; pat dry.
Line the largest microwave-safe plate that will fit in your microwave with 2 layers of paper towels.
Arrange as many potato slices on the paper towels that will fit in 1 layer without touching. Lightly brush the potatoes on both sides with oil; sprinkle lightly with salt.
Microwave on full power for 3-4 minutes; turn the slices over; microwave on 60% power until crispy and golden brown in spots, about more 2 minutes.
Transfer chips to a serving bowl. Repeat with the remaining potato slices.
Serve.
4 servings.
