Potato Chips

I picked up this (gizmo), microwave potato chip maker at a yard sale for practically nothing.  Of course, it sat in the cupboards for a few years, let's not go there, with the number of years.  I finally got around to using it, convincing myself that this won't work.  I can officially say, I will never buy a bag of chips again.

I love chips, seriously, love chips.

These are so easy to make, all you need is a microwave, a microwave potato chip maker, mandolin, a medium potato, sea salt and a bowl, to make enough to go with a sandwich for lunch.

This is how I made them:

Slice the unpeeled potatoes with the mandolin into the bowl.  Sprinkle the sea salt on the slices.  Place the potato slices in the slits of the microwave potato chip maker and microwave for 6 to 8 minutes.  Mine take 7 minutes.

I use the salt because I like to take day trips and I tend to dehydrate in this heat, so these help with retaining water.

There are so many possibilities.  You can peel the potato if you like, I don't because I was always told that is where all the vitamins are.  You don't have to salt them, but you could add herbs, spices to your personal preference.  You could brush them with olive oil which will enhance the flavor and then add whatever spices you like.

These microwave potato chip makers are well worth a try.

With Grace,
