Microwave Potato Chips

Drew and I have been making a strong effort to eat better. Well, at least a little bit. We still splurge on some dinners and have a few adult libations here and there... but for the most part, we're trying to make healthy decisions by keeping most 'normal' snack foods out of the house. That means no devil's food cookies (sorry Drew) and no potato chips (sorry ME!). But sometimes you just can't get away from it. C'mon, we're human. We all have sudden cravings for wonderful, delicious, so-bad-it's-good junk food. Sometimes sweet, sometimes salty. I've already found my miracle worker for sweet cravings, but I had yet to tackle the salty.

Until now.

Not only were they quick and easy... but actually good! In fact, it totally tackled my salty potato chip craving without leaving me wishing they were something more. Cheap, simple and the perfect snack. If you're a chip fan, give these a try!

Ingredients:

• 2 potatoes, sliced thin (you can, of course, increase this... but it was 10 pm and just me munching so I had to be a little sensible. Okay fine, ONE would have been sensible but I was seriously craving)
• Olive oil, just enough to drizzle and coat
• Seasonings of choice - mine was Lawry's Seasoning and a few shakes of garlic powder

Directions:

• Wash and scrub potatoes. Slice thin!
• Throw your "chips" into a bowl and drizzle on some olive oil. Now use your hands to toss them around so every chip is coated.
• Add as much or as little seasoning/salt/pepper as you like. Toss again to cover them all.
• Lightly grease a 9x9 glass dish with Pam spray.
• Now add just one layer of "chips"
• Nuke 'em in the microwave for 5 minutes until crispy. No need to turn them!
• Continue with the rest of your "chips" until finished. You do not need to re-grease the dish.

Yum! These really hit the spot. Although some might not call them healthy, they're certainly a better option than buying a bag of Lays or Ruffles.
