For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder, paprika, or onion powder along with the salt after cooking. The key to crispy chips is to ensure the potato slices are as dry as possible before microwaving. Thoroughly drying them prevents steaming and promotes crisping. Microwave wattage can vary, so keep a close eye on the chips during the final minutes of cooking to prevent burning. Adjust cooking time as needed. Use fresh parchment paper for each batch.

Follow The Directions
01
StepGather all ingredients. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
02
StepFold a piece of parchment paper into eighths, paper airplane-style. Place the tip of the folded parchment in the center of a microwave-safe plate and measure the radius; cut remaining parchment off and unfold into a circle to fit the plate. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
03
StepSlice potato thinly using a mandolin and transfer to a bowl of cold water; rinse off as much starch as possible. Transfer potato slices to a clean kitchen towel to dry; blot tops as well to ensure they are as dry as possible. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
04
StepBrush some oil over the parchment paper. Working in batches, place as many potato slices on the oiled parchment that will fit; brush tops of slices with more oil. (Prep time: 5 minutes per batch)
05
StepCook in a microwave for 3 ½ minutes. Flip and continue to cook until browned and stiff, about 4 minutes more, checking the appearance often to make sure they don't burn. (Cook time: ~7.5 minutes per batch)
06
StepTransfer chips to a cold plate and season with salt. Let cool before serving. Continue with remaining potato slices. (Cooling time: 5 minutes)
