Steps:
- Pour the vegetable oil into a plastic bag (a produce bag works well). Add the potato slices, and shake to coat.
- Coat a large dinner plate lightly with oil or cooking spray. Arrange potato slices in a single layer on the dish.
- Cook in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned (if not browned, they will not become crisp). Times will vary depending on the power of your microwave. Remove chips from plate, and toss with salt (or other seasonings). Let cool. Repeat process with the remaining potato slices. You will not need to keep oiling the plate.

Tips:
- Use low-calorie oil: Use a low-calorie cooking oil or spray, such as canola oil, olive oil, or avocado oil, to avoid adding unnecessary calories to your potato chips.
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are a good choice for making potato chips because they are starchy and have a high solids content, which helps them to crisp up well.
- Slice the potatoes thinly: The thinner the potato slices, the crispier the chips will be. Aim for slices that are about 1/8 inch thick.
- Season the potatoes: Before baking, toss the potato slices with your desired seasonings. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Bake the potato chips at a high temperature: To get the crispiest potato chips, bake them at a high temperature, such as 400°F (200°C), for 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Monitor the potato chips closely: Keep an eye on the potato chips while they are baking to make sure that they don't burn. Once they are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
