Niclouise,
you CAN get baked crips in the UK- try Marks and Spencers, don't get too excited though as they are nowhere near as tasty. M&S do crips sized packs of pretzels that really are good for salt cravings.
I can eat Boots lowfat Crips and walkers lites when I am stable despite them not being safe for everyone.
The brands list, which has a UK section might help with ideas too
here's the link

Do you have Pringles over there? I find I tolerate Pringles Lite better than the baked Lays we have in the US.

This recipe has a ton of great reviews on Recipezaar! I've been meaning to try it.
Uncle Bill's Microwave Potato Chips
(Makes 4 servings)
These potato chips are very easy to make in the microwave. Also, they are healthier for you as they are not cooked in any oils. This method has intrigued so many people that have tasted them and then made them for themselves. The younger people just love them.
4 medium potatoes (russet, yellow gold, or red potatoes)
your choice spices or herbs (granulated garlic powder, seasoning salt, cayenne pepper, dried dill weed)
If potatoes are old, peel and slice thin, 1/16" 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" 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 microwaveable, round heavy plastic cover.
Microwave on HIGH (full power) 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.
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.
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 did a Board Search for potato chips and found a pointer to another microwave recipe on the FatFree website. However, on that Website, I also found this oven baked recipe that sounds almost too easy to be true:
Low-Fat Potato Chips That Don't Taste Like Cardboard
The whole Website looks interesting.
