WeightWatchers Microwave Potato Chips Recipe

Weight Watchers Microwave Potato Chips recipe
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients
4 large potatoes
a little vegetable oil (for the microwave bacon tray)
spices (seasoning salt, granulated garlic powder, dried dill weed, cayenne pepper), to taste

Preparation
1. If the potatoes are old, peel and thinly slice them (less than 1/16″ in thickness, slicing across the potato).
2. If the potatoes are new or they have good skins, do not peel (just scrub them well), then thinly slice them (less than 1/16″ in thickness, slicing across the potato).
3. Place the potato slices in a bowl, sprinkle with some salt (if desired), cover with cold water and let sit for about 10 minutes.
4. Remove the potato slices in batches onto paper toweling and pat dry.
5. If you have a microwave bacon tray, rub it with a little vegetable oil, then place the sliced potatoes flat on the tray in a single layer. (If you don’t have a bacon tray, use a microwave safe casserole dish and rub the inside of the dish with some oil for the first batch of the potato chips).
6. Sprinkle with your choice of herbs or spices.
7. Cover with a microwaveable, round heavy plastic cover.
8. Microwave on high (full power) for about 5-5 1/2 minutes (or until they curl slightly and are a very light brown color).
9. The cooking time could slightly vary, depending on the wattage of your microwave and the thickness of the slices (the thinner the slices are, the quicker they will cook).
