Ingredients

  • Potato thinly sliced
  • Vinegar in a small spritzer or spray bottle
  • Sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Spray a plate or ridged baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Spray your hands with non-stick cooking spray and coat each slice as you arrange them on the plate or dish, being careful not to overlap them.
  • Put the slices in the microwave for about 8-10 minutes (more or less depending on the size and wattage of your microwave oven).
  • When they start to brown, pull the dish out of the microwave and place on heat resistant surface.
  • Spritz some of the vinegar on the chips and sprinkle on the salt.
  • Flip the chips and repeat on the other side.

Notes

  1. Achieve Thin and Even Slices: For the crispiest results, aim to slice the potatoes as thinly and uniformly as possible. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife can help you achieve consistent thickness throughout, ensuring that the chips cook evenly and become uniformly crispy.
  2. Monitor Microwaving Carefully: Keep a close eye on the chips while they're in the microwave, as cooking times can vary depending on the thickness of the slices and the wattage of your microwave oven. Check the chips periodically, and adjust the cooking time as needed to prevent them from overcooking or burning. You want them to turn golden brown and crisp around the edges without becoming too dark.
  3. Control Flavor Intensity: Experiment with the amount of vinegar and salt to achieve your desired flavor profile. Start by lightly spritzing the chips with vinegar and sprinkling them with salt, then taste and adjust according to your preference. Some may prefer a stronger vinegar tang, while others may prefer a more subtle flavor. Adjusting the seasoning allows you to tailor the chips to your taste preferences for the perfect balance of tanginess and saltiness.
