Homemade Potato Chips

Make Homemade Potato Chips in the microwave with this super easy recipe, and only uses a few ingredients that will already be in your pantry or store cupboard. They are so tasty and are a great alternative to store-bought potato chips.

A mandoline is ideal for slicing potatoes, and a food processor with a slicing attachment is great too, but if you don’t have either, then use a vegetable peeler or your best knife.

You can experiment with the thickness that you prefer, and the cooking times will vary depending on how thick they are too.

Tips For Homemade Potato Chips

  • You can substitute the salt with other seasonings, such as pepper, chili powder, or garlic salt.
  • You can substitute vegetable oil for any other oil that heats well, such as olive oil, safflower oil, or coconut oil.
  • If you prefer thicker potato chips, then cut the potato into thicker slices, and adjust the cooking time.
  • The cooking time will vary depending on the power of your microwave, so you may need to cook a little longer.
  • The potato slices need to be brown or they will not be crispy when they cool.
