This is perhaps the fastest and easiest recipe for making homemade chips. And most importantly - chips without any additives, 100% natural product. A microwave oven will help us achieve this. I also forgot to say: these are also very tasty chips. It only takes us 10 minutes to prepare this delicacy!
We need a minimum of ingredients, namely potatoes. Well, I think about it, you probably guessed it yourself :-)
I will offer you two technologies for preparing chips in the microwave; if you wish, you can choose the one you need or upgrade one to the other.
And so let's go. The first recipe is dietary - without oil and salt. Yes, you read that right - from the edible ingredients we will take one potato.
Now you need to thinly cut it into slices or rounds, as you wish. For this version of the recipe, I do not advise you to cut the potatoes too thin, somewhere around 1-2 mm.
For slicing, I suggest using the following tools:
Or any others at your request, the fastest effect can be achieved with a grater, and the thinnest - with a vegetable knife. I prefer a regular kitchen knife.
Cut further, be sure to rinse the slices with cold water! Otherwise, it will then be impossible to separate it from the dishes or paper.
It is better to use a colander for washing.
After rinsing, you need to wait a little until the water drains completely. Next, you need to take a spinning plate from the microwave and cover it with baking paper and place the potato slices on it. If you don’t have baking paper, you can simply place the slices on a plate.
We put it in the microwave, turn it on at full power and watch. As soon as the chips begin to “brown” in places, immediately turn them off. The main thing is not to miss this moment, because if you turn it off earlier they will not be crispy, if later they will have a burnt taste. Cooking time will range from 2 to 10 minutes, depending on the portion.
That's it - delicious chips are ready! The product is dietary. Of course, I cheated and added a little salt, I'm not a big supporter of healthy food. But it’s also very tasty without salt, so don’t be upset if you didn’t add salt.
Recipe number two. Everything is the same, only after washing the chips, add salt and fill them with sunflower oil and let them stand for a while.
Then we put it on any plate and put it in the microwave at maximum and also watch how the chips begin to turn gray.
All. For this option, I would recommend that you cut the slices thinner - no more than 2 mm.
Bon appetit!
P.S. : It is advisable to eat chips immediately, otherwise they will lose their unique crunch. But for reference, I will say that the second option is more “durable” in storage than the first.
