I ordered one of these online:

you can order them from amazon too

You may be asking what the hell is it?

Well it is a microwave crisp (chip) maker. With it you can make low fat crisps in the microwave without the need for any oil.

It comes with a nifty little potato slicer for slicing your potatoes.

The above picture is 1 tiny potato sliced up. Which I felt was more than enough for a tasty low fat snack.

These do need to be synned though, especially when used as a snack, as they are easy to over consume. You syn them as you would a potato on an Original day.

Now onto the directions (just incase anyone does buy one): Once you have sliced your potato (and I do recommend using a small size potato, as otherwise the slices will be to big for the tray). Lay the slices out on some kitchen paper or similar and add your seasoning. I used some sea salt for these ones, but you could try spicy seasoning etc.

Then place one potato slice in each individual space and you are ready to cook them in the microwave. I would say these take approx 6 mins, but once you get to beyond 4 1/2 mins, I would keep an eye on them. They will have started to turn a golden/brown colour when they are ready, like the below picture:

Once you take them out of the microwave, I recommend removing them from the holder straight away and placing them in your bowl to cool down, as otherwise they will stick together.

Here is my bowl of the completed low fat Microwave crisps:

and as you can see, that is a rather satisfying portion, for a small potato and not many syns either.

You can even buy seasonings online too to make your own flavoured varieties.
