Yesterday we tried something exciting! Potato chips in the microwave! It's super easy but can become a bit tedious when you're making a larger batch, although it is definitely worth the wait.
2 large potatoes
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste
Wash your potatoes (obviously). Using a mandolin (or very carefully with a knife) slice the potatoes into very thin (1/16") rounds. Put the slices into a bowl, add 2 tbsp of the olive oil and toss until they are evenly coated. Cover a large (microwave safe) plate with a layer of parchment paper and arrange the slices in a single layer. You will need to cook these in batches unless you have the world's biggest plates and microwave to match. Microwave uncovered on high for 4 minutes. The chips should be golden and crispy but if they're not continue cooking in 30 second increments until they reach your desired crunchosity (yes, that's now a word.)
Meanwhile in a large bowl mix the remaining olive oil with the rosemary, salt and pepper. When you're finished cooking you chips add them to the bowl with the rosemary mixture and toss until coated.
This recipe is only one of many flavour possibilities. You could do just salt, toss with some malt vinegar or maybe even add a sprinkle or curry powder. You can use pretty much any herb/spice combination; the options are endless. Give this a try, it won't disappoint!
