Step 1
Slice potato into paper-thin rounds using a mandoline or vegetable peeler.
Step 2
Lay slices flat on a microwave-safe plate and spray both sides lightly with cooking spray.
Step 3
Microwave on high for 4–6 minutes, checking at the 3-minute mark — chips should look dry and curl slightly.
Step 4
Remove from microwave and let cool 1 minute on the plate — they will continue to crisp as they cool.
Step 5
Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.
