Making Potato Chips
How you cook your potato chips depends on a number of different things: what equipment you have available, how much time you want to take, and what kind of potato chips you like. In general, deep-fried potato chips turn out crispier and more oily, while baked potato chips are often drier and crunchier. Microwaved potato chips, while still good, are often made by people who want their potato chips quickly.

Spread out your potato slices in a single layer on a large microwaveable plate.
Cook on high for about 3 - 5 minutes (or until your chips are properly browned).
Set them aside to cool and repeat the process for the rest of your potato slices.
Sprinkle additional salt and seasonings to taste.
