If potatoes are old, peel and slice thin, 1/16-inch in thickness, slicing across the potato. If the potatoes are new or good skins, do not peel, just scrub well, then slice them 1/16-inch in thickness, slicing across the potato. Sprinkle with your choice of spices or herbs or just leave them plain.
If you have a microwave bacon tray, place the sliced potatoes flat on the tray in a single layer. Cover with a microwave, round heavy plastic cover. Microwave on high for 7 to 8 minutes. Cooking time could vary slightly, depending on the wattage of your microwave. You do not have to turn the sliced potatoes over.
If you do not have a bacon tray, use a microwave safe casserole dish. Rub the inside of the dish with some olive oil for the first batch of potato chips.* After the first batch is done, you do not have to rub the dish again. Continue to microwave the remainder of sliced potatoes as noted above.

* I do not know why, but I find that if you do not rub oil the first time, some chips will tend to stick to the dish.
