Happy National Potato Chip Day!


Today we are honouring the beloved snack of North America! This satisfying snack comes in many, many flavours and is one of our favourite snack foods! Whether you like them plain, with dip, baked, homemade, flavoured or with a sandwich; we can all agree, this snack is very enjoyable!  To honour this adored snack here is a simple recipe for homemade potato chips! 


 

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 potato, sliced paper thin (peel optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  1. Pour the vegetable oil into a plastic bag (a produce bag works well). Add the potato slices, and shake to coat.
  2. Coat a large dinner plate lightly with oil or cooking spray. Arrange potato slices in a single layer on the dish.
  3. Cook in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned (if not browned, they will not become crisp). Times will vary depending on the power of your microwave. Remove chips from plate, and toss with salt (or other seasonings). Let cool. Repeat process with the remaining potato slices. You will not need to keep oiling the plate.
