Recipe: DIY Potato Chips

This is, by far, one of the most mind-blowing recipes I've come across. I'm giving credit to lovetolaugh54 who posted this in a recipe swap forum. I'm modifying it slightly by using my salt substitute .

Ingredients:

• 1 and 1/3 pounds of potatoes (4 medium)  [Yukon Gold or Red variety are best] 
• 2 tsp. olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. Morton's Salt Substitute

To Make:

• Scrub potatoes to clean, but DO NOT peel them -- the skin of the potato is where most of the nutrients are.
• Slice potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Try to get them all a uniform size -- it will help in the cooking process.
• Toss potato rounds in oil and salt substitute. I found it was easiest to do in a plastic bag, rather than a bowl. 
• Coat a large microwave-safe plate with Pam. Arrange some of the potato rounds on the plate (In a single layer).
• Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH for 2-3 minutes or until some of the slices start to brown.
• Turn potato rounds over and continue microwaving until they crisp and turn brown around the edges (Around 2-4 minutes) -- Check the rounds often to make sure they are not scorching
• Transfer the cooked chips to a plate to cool, where they will continue to "crisp up".
• Do additional batches, if needed

There you have it folks -- if you use a salt substitute -- you can make potato chips with NO sodium. This might be my new "salty" fix!

Happy Cooking!
