Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice potato into paper-thin rounds using a mandoline or vegetable peeler.

  2. Step 2

    Lay slices flat on a microwave-safe plate and spray both sides lightly with cooking spray.

  3. Step 3

    Microwave on high for 4–6 minutes, checking at the 3-minute mark — chips should look dry and curl slightly.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from microwave and let cool 1 minute on the plate — they will continue to crisp as they cool.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.
