Food Friday: Quick and Easy Microwave Potato Chips

Last week Dear One accompanied me to a vegan lunch/information meeting.  It was pizza and ice cream.  Vegan.  Pretty good. The pizza crust was grits with no salt, butter, or cheese.  She staked the crust very high with all kinds of roasted vegetables.  It was okay.  You had to use a fork, at least when it first came out of the oven.  We were sort of piggies and dug right in.  A lady that came later was successful in picking up her crust.  The "ice cream" was like fudge sickles and orange sherbet pops.  Not bad at all.  We have made "ice cream" in the blender which makes a soft-serve instead of a frozen treat.

 One other thing the hostess had made was potato chips she had made in the microwave.  Dear One had multiple servings plus accepted the leftovers to take home.... I am not sure they made it all the way home!

Anyway, when we arrived home Dear One went to Amazon, found the microwave potato chip gadget, and ordered it!  What a surprise to me!  It arrived on Monday.

This particular "machine" comes with a small very sharp mandolin, though perhaps a low-grade one.  It worked perfectly.

Here are the sliced potatoes all ready to go into the microwave.  There is a little "hook" at the bottom of each chip compartment to keep the potato from sliding out.

Here is what is left from the first bowl of microwave chips.  It took about 10 minutes for them to cook to this point.  I think I might let them go a little longer since they still tasted vaguely like raw potatoes.
