Diabetic Recipe of the Week: Homemade Potato Chips


3 servings
Serving Size: About 15 chips
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 6 to 7 minutes per batch
Ingredients
1 medium russet potato, washed and peeled
Baking parchment paper
1/2 tsp. kosher salt, or salt-free seasoning such as Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb Seasoning Blend
1/2 tsp. mild chili powder
Preparation
1. Slice the potato very thinly, making sure all slices are about the same thickness. You should have about 45 slices.
2. Cover the turntable of the microwave oven with a piece of baking parchment paper. Sprinkle the paper with some of the salt and chili powder. Place the potato slices on the paper in a single layer. Sprinkle with some more salt and chili powder. You may have to do this in two or three batches, depending on the size of your turntable.
3. Cook at full power for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the potatoes just start to brown. Turn off the microwave oven and let the potatoes rest for 1 minute. Cook again at full power until the potatoes are nicely browned. Make sure they do not burn. Repeat with any remaining slices.
This recipe may be adapted for sweet potatoes and different spices.
