Ingredients

  • 1 medium potato (1 medium, such as russet or Yukon gold)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 sprays cooking spray

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

    Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.

Tools you’ll need
