Uncle Bill's Microwave Potato Chips by William (Uncle Bill) Anatooskin


From Melanie:
These potato chips are very easy to make in the microwave. Also, they  are healthier for you as they are not cooked in any oils. This method  has intrigued so many people that have tasted them and then made them  for themselves. The younger people just love them. 

4 medium potatoes (russet, yellow gold, or red potatoes) 
your choice spices or herbs (granulated garlic powder, seasoning  salt, cayenne pepper, dried dill weed) 

1. If potatoes are old, peel and slice thin, 1/16" in thickness,  slicing across the potato. If the potatoes are new or good skins, DO  NOT PEEL, just scrub well, then slice them 1/16" in thickness,  slicing across the potato. 
2. Sprinkle with your choice of spices or herbs or just leave them  plain. 
3. If you have a microwave bacon tray, place the sliced potatoes flat  on the tray in a single layer. Cover with a microwaveable, round  heavy plastic cover. Microwave on HIGH (full power) for 7 to 8  minutes. Cooking time could vary slightly, depending on the wattage  of your microwave. You do not have to turn the sliced potatoes over. 
4. If you do not have a bacon tray, use a microwave safe casserole  dish. Rub the inside of the dish with some olive oil for the first  batch of potato chips. I do not know why, but I find that if you do  not rub oil the first time, some chips will tend to stick to the  dish. After the first batch is done, you do not have to rub the dish  again. Continue to microwave the remainder of sliced potatoes as  noted above.
