              POTATO CHIPS

1 potato, thinly sliced (peel or don't peel)

Spray a dinner plate with Pam. Place potato slices on plate
in a single row. Microwave on HIGH for 4 minutes. Turn slices
over and continue to microwave on high another 3 to 5 minutes.
Potatoes are done when they are lightly browned - if they aren't
browned, they won't get crisp. This may take longer depending on
your microwave's wattage but you will be safe with the initial
4 minutes of cooking. You need to watch them carefully after that. Now
comes the hard part <g>. Remove from plate and toss in a bowl with salt
or seasoning of your choice and let cool! It is important to let them
cool so they can crisp up.
    This recipe makes a small amount but I think these are tastier
than the commercial fatfree chips. I haven't had such good luck doing
this with sweet potatoes unfortunately.
