3 medium red potatoes, scrubbed; 1/4 cup olive oil; salt; spices of your choice, such as cumin, garlic powder, curry powder, or chili powder
1.With an adult's help, slice the potatoes thinly. Brush the slices with the olive oil on both sides, and sprinkle both sides with the salt and spices.
2.Put three paper towels on a microwave-safe plate. Lay the potato slices on top of the paper towels. Do not overlap the slices.
3.Microwave for 3 minutes. Turn the slices over, and microwave for another 2–3 minutes until the chips are dry and crispy. Repeat until all the potato slices have turned into tasty homemade chips. Note: To bake the chips in an oven, spread the slices on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 30–35 minutes until crisp. Flip slices 2 or 3 times during baking.
