Potato chips in the microwave


Today we bring you the recipe for the classic potatoe chips, like those from the bag, but healthier, because we make them at home and have less oil (and no additives) than the industrial ones.

Ingredients:
- 9 oz of potatoes
- Salt
- Olive oil

Recipe:
- Wash the potatoes and peel them.
- Cut into slices as thin as possible. We have used a mandolin.
- In a container suitable for the microwave, place a sheet of baking paper on the base.
- Put the potato slices on top of the baking paper without the slices touching each other. (You will have to do several runs).
- Pour a splash of oil over the potatoes and sprinkle a pinch of salt on top.
- Cook in the microwave for 3 and a half minutes at 800W. (The first time you have to control the potatoes because you can vary the time from one microwave to another).
- The potatoes should be crispy and a little golden.
- Remove the container and place the potatoes on a rack so that they finish cooling and stay crispy.



Bon appétit!
