Introduction: Microwave Potato Crisps

After seeing the microwave potato chip instructable, I tried making something similar using potato flakes. It came out pretty well. It tastes better than it looks, honest.

Step 1: Materials

  • Instant potato flakes
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Water
  • Vinegar (optional)
  • A microwave-safe plate (I used a 9-inch silicone cake pan)

Step 2: Preparation

The mix I used was:
1/2 cup flakes
1/2 cup water
1 tsp oil
1 tbsp vinegar (optional)
salt to taste

Mix this up and spread it on the dish. You can try using a rubber spatula but, frankly, it's easier to use your hands.

Update: I've also tried chili powder (not bad) and garlic salt (pretty good).

Step 3: Cooking

Microwave until it's crisp and brown. Remove from plate break into pieces.
