Guilt Free Potato Chips??

Is this even possible. And the answer is Yes. Thanks to the  good old microwave. Recently I have been seeing my grocery store having potatoes on sale.They were really a bargain & I brought a huge bag and didn't use much of it ,until I made this potato chips. Its very easy and we can munch on it knowing that we are not guilty...thats a relief.
Herez how I made ...


Guilt Free Potato Chips





Ingredients:
Russet Potatoes
salt
For seasoning the chips
Chilli powder
salt
oil/oil spray.

Method
Peel the potatoes. Slice the poatoes in a mandoline into thin rounds.
Bring water to boil
add salt generously.
put  the potatoes and blanch them for 3mins.
Remove and cool them on a towel neatly one by one.
Now this is the stage where the waiting begins.we need the potatoes to be nice and dry.drying them in sunlight is a good option too. allow it to dry for atleast a couple-a days.
Now at this stage we can store the well dried potatoes in an airtight container and use it when we need.or get chowing right away!
Now the best part.
You could fry them in oil like any other chips ,but thats not gonna be guilt free though.But the other option is to microwave it. here is how....
Take a microwave plate
arrange the dried potatoes on it and microwave for 1-2mins until they become crisp and golden.
now add the seasonings to it,to make the seasonings stick to it,add oil and mix well.
Enjoy!
