Guilt-free Potato Chips

What you?ll need:

2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
? tsp. salt

How to make it:

1. Scrub the potatoes and slice into thin slices (1/8? or less).
2. Put the olive oil and salt in a plastic baggie, add the potatoes, and seal.
3. Shake well until all the potato slices are well coated.
4. Spray a microwave-safe plate with cooking spray. Arrange the sliced potatoes on the plate in a single layer with thinner slices on the outside and thicker ones on the?inside.
5. Cook on high for 2-3 minutes, turn, and cook an additional 2-4 minutes?(cooking time depends on the thickness of the slices). Chips are done when the?slices start to turn brown. The chips will continue to crisp as they cool, so don?t overcook them.
