Steps
Using a mandolin or v-slicer, slice one medium russet potato (peeled, if you like) as thinly as possible, taking care that all slices are the same thickness. Line the turntable tray of your microwave with parchment paper and place the potato slices on it without overlapping. Salt lightly and sprinkle with your choice of seasonings.
Microwave at full power–watching closely–until spots of brown begin to appear, about 4-6 minutes. Turn off the microwave for 1 minute. Microwave again at full power until the slices are golden brown. (Be very careful not to over-brown or they will taste burned.) Remove from the microwave and allow to cool. Repeat until all potato slices are cooked.

Melissa on 2021-08-14 (5 stars): This recipe for potato chips is a game-changer! I have tried every technique to make good potato chips at home, I tried the air fryer, the oven, toaster oven... and never achieved a great result.. I can't believe it was there all along in the microwave, thank you so much for teaching me this is super easy way to make the best, crispiest, potato chips!
