As someone who spent the entirety of her childhood trading the apple slices her mom packed in her lunchbox for a classmate\u2019s Cape Cod potato chips, learning how to make a bowl of potato chips from scratch in the <em>microwave<\/em> (!) with no deep-frying involved is a BFD. Potato chips are my all-time favorite snack and the way to my heart.<\/p>\n<p>So, what\u2019s the trick for making homemade potato chips taste even better than a (half-empty) party-size bag of \u2018em? Much like what I learned in culinary school, it all boils down to (pun intended) the technique. Indeed, a potato can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/nourishing-potato-recipes\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/nourishing-potato-recipes\/\">cooked in so many different ways<\/a>\u2014think <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-boil-potatoes\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-boil-potatoes\/\">mashed<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/batata-harra-recipe\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/batata-harra-recipe\/\">roasted<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/martha-stewart-trick\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/martha-stewart-trick\/\">smashed<\/a>. However, this two-ingredient DIY potato chip recipe is simplicity at its finest. With just thinly-cut potato slices (thank you, mandoline slicer) and a little zap of electromagnetic science (hi, microwave), you\u2019ll be well on your way to enjoying homemade potato chips in no time.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/Crio_rpq46e\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\"><\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>How to make homemade potato chips in the microwave<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Crio_rpq46e\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Crio_rpq46e\/\">recent Instagram post<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/itsvegansis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/itsvegansis\/\">@itsvegansis<\/a>, making homemade (oil-free) potato chips is beyond easy. All you need are super thinly sliced potatoes and a microwave. Of course, this may sound too good to be true at first\u2014but rest assured, with the appropriate cooking tool and techniques, crispy, crunchy DIY potato chips are more than possible.<\/p>\n<p>For starters, you\u2019ll want to ensure that your potatoes are thinly sliced, and to achieve that, we highly recommend investing in a mandoline slicer. (Although it must be handled with the utmost care because they\u2019re very sharp, I can tell you from personal experience.)<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/microwave-potato-chips\/\" current-title=\"How To Make 2-Ingredient Gut-Friendly Potato Chips in the Microwave\" current-image=\"microwave-potato-chips-425x285.png\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-02-21\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/microwave-potato-chips\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/microwave-potato-chips\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/microwave-potato-chips\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The good news is that there are tons to choose from on Amazon, and they tend to be quite affordable.

Then, take your prepped and dried potato and start slicing away (I reiterate, <em>very<\/em> carefully). Note: The thinner the slice, the crispier the chip\u2014think one-eighth of an inch or so. Once sliced, dunk the potato into the bowl of iced water for about five minutes or so to help remove the excess starch.<\/p>\n<p>Now the fun part: Prepping the potatoes for the microwave, which is the final step. Once the potatoes have soaked for about five minutes, pat them very dry, and arrange the slices on a large, microwave-safe plate topped with parchment paper, ensuring none of the pieces are touching or overlapping. Lastly, sprinkle the soon-to-be chips with a bit of salt (or the seasonings of your choice) and microwave the potatoes until crispy\u2014about five to seven minutes or so, depending on the microwave and the thickness of your cut. Note: You may have to work in batches, as the small confines of a microwave can be limiting.<\/p>\n<p>Once they&#8217;re zapped to perfection, you\u2019ll be stunned by the final results: Delicious, crispy, crunchy homemade chips that can be stored in an airtight container for a few days\u2014although that may be difficult to achieve. That said, they\u2019ll be best (and crunchiest) if served immediately.
