    6 Minute Potato Chips (Fat Free)

    The HEALTHIEST potato chip recipe EVER created. These are the best low calorie, low fat potato chips I've ever had. Only 3 Weight Watcher Points Plus #healthypotatochips #WeightWatchers

    Say goodbye to those horrid, soggy, burnt, and time consuming oven baked potato chips.

    For years I made healthy "potato chips" in the oven with limited success.

    However, my potato chip life changed once I started using my microwave. Yes, I know, it's hard to believe the microwave could make such a drastic change cooking potato chips, but it makes a lot of sense. Microwaves work by heating the water molecules up in food (thus the water evaporates), which means sliced potatoes cook perfectly; they're unburnt, and crunchy.

    Sometimes the best things are the simple things, and that's certainly true with these 6 minute homemade potato chips!

    Note: Your cook-time might take a few minutes longer depending on the strength of your microwave, but even with the weakest of microwaves they'll only take 10/12 minutes.

      If you use parchment / baking sheets instead of cooking spray, they're truly no-added-fat.
