    Try cutting a flat surface on the potato then using a potato peeler to make the slices nice and thin. - 4/20/10

    This recipe is the greatest thing that ever happened to me! Used a glass dish, sprayed with no calorie olive oil, pepper, lowry's salt -about 4mins each side. Then top with malt vinegar. I feel like praying.... - 9/16/11

    This was excellent! Had to modify the cooking time a lot - 2 min, then flip, then 2 min. I did salt & vinegar and it was wonderful. Am looking forward to trying lots of spices, including the dry buffalo wing packet for my daughter! A potato - no oil - who would have figured!? - 2/8/10

    I make these today and they were so good. I put the cut potatoes between two paper towel to dry them off to reduce cooking time. I will be making this again.
    Thank you for the recipe - 8/10/12

    This was not a good recipe.
    My potatoes were not cooked all the way through. The tops were golden and perfect but they were also glued and stuck to uncooked potatoes under them and everything was stuck to the dish.
    It sounds like a good idea, maybe I didn't execute it correctly! - 4/29/12

    Maybe I didn't cut the potatoes thin enough, maybe there was something wrong with the potatoes, or maybe it was the microwave, but these didn't turn out well. They were chewy even though they were cooking for plenty enough time(6 min) and not crunchy. They stuck horribly to my plate. I did turn them - 2/10/10

    My husband and I love the potato chips. I spray the pan with canola oil spray. The potato chips turn great. I could control the salt on them. I am going to try chili seasoning on the next time. - 4/13/11

    I read through the comments before making these, used a slicer, adjusted the cook times for my microwave, and used a bit of sea salt (like saltier) and a bit of tex mex too... they were really good. Must admit I was sceptical, but they were very good! - 6/12/10

    Easy way to get the crunch and taste of chips without the bad calories. I sprayed with a bit of Pam to avoid sticking, and it worked. Had to watch them closely so they did not get too crispy. - 3/14/10

    Wow, I found this recipe yesterday and bought potatoes today. I just made them and I forgot to use tip someone mentioned about turning them over so they don't stick to the plate. I like BBQ normal chips and bought BillyBee Honey BBQ Seasoning to sprinkle and was very pleased with the results. - 10/28/09

    The first batch stuck to the plate. The second time around I lightly sprayed the plate with butter flavored cooking spray. I sprinkled them with sea salt. Yummy! Even my youngest kiddo liked them. - 3/19/13

    Is there a way to make these without using a microwave? Does anyone know if baking them would work? Seems like a great recipe.

    This was really good! I am a chip girl big time and this really hit the spot! I am surprised and sooooo happy. I used a smaller red potato and need to perfect my cutting skills, but great first try and about 45-50 cals for my snack. Thanks for posting. - 12/13/12
