death-row microwave potato chips

 





I've recently posted about a salsa recipe that I received from a pen pal on death row in the US, and my other pen pal wrote to me about how he makes potato chips in the microwave. I had no idea that this was even possible, or that the potato slices would crisp and brown.

It's pretty simple:

Slice a potato thinly and dry each piece as much as possible with paper towels. 

Microwave at 600 w power for 1 minute and 30 seconds at a time, turning the chips each cycle until they're brown and crispy. Sprinkle with a little salt and let cool slightly.
