They're a nutritious and healthy vegetable when prepared properly, but they can also be turned into high-calorie and high-fat dishes if you add lots of cheese, sour cream or other high-fat ingredients.

Salt and Vinegar Chips

Salt and Vinegar Chips This is one of my favorite options! Dip each potato slice into cider vinegar before putting it on the parchment paper. Sprinkle with salt before microwaving.

INGREDIENTS ■1 medium russet potato ■salt ■optional seasonings: Mesquite BBQ, Old Bay, chili powder, creole seasoning, etc. ■parchment paper Using a mandolin or v-slicer, slice one medium russet potato (unpeeled) as thinly as possible, taking care that all slices are the same thickness. Line the turntable tray of your microwave with parchment paper and place the potato slices on it without overlapping. Salt lightly and sprinkle with your choice of seasonings. Microwave at full power–watching closely–until spots of brown begin to appear, about 4-6 minutes. Turn off the microwave for 1 minute (this is important, don’t miss this step). Microwave again at full power until the slice
