Many people have experience cooking whole potatoes in microwave, but what about potato chips? Maybe some people don't know that delicious, crispy microwaved potato chips can be made in just 15 minutes (including 8 to 10 minutes of cooking time).

Often people may think that buying a bag of potato chips is not easier to save money, so why do you have to make it yourself? Food website Daily Meal notes that microwaved potato chips are not fried in oil like merchant-selled potato chips, which are healthier alternatives and do not contain unhealthy preservatives needed to extend the shelf life.

In addition to being healthier and lower in heat, salt and other flavorings can also be added at will to make them unique and more delicious. Like many foods made from the head, homemade potato chips have a natural, unprocessed flavor, which is incomparable to the factory's large number of potato chips produced.

Daily Meal said that to make this delicious snack, russet potatoes and flavoring ingredients such as parmesan cheese, pepper, salt and garlic powder. If you want to add a little spicy and some roasted flavor, try adding chili powder, cayenne pepper or red bell pepper. In addition, you can mix the garlic powder and make sour cream garlic chips; you can even sprinkle some cinnamon frosting on the potato chips to satisfy your love for sweets. In short, there is no possibility of being vicious.

Daily Meal emphasizes that the key to making delicious, crispy microwaved potato chips is to cut them thinner, the better. A mandoline slicer is best suited to slice potatoes into ideal slices, which helps them heat evenly.

In addition, before making potato chips, add olive oil to the microwave pan, which can increase the flavor, make the chips crisp and prevent sticking. Daily Meal also recommends soaking potato chips in cold water before heating the microwave to wash off some of the powder to make the potato chips more refreshing.
