Drain the cottage cheese in a metal sieve for about 30 minutes to remove excess liquid.

Blend the drained cottage cheese until mostly smooth, leaving some curds for texture.

For the first variation, mix 1/2 cup of blended cottage cheese with 1/4 cup of instant mashed potato flakes and 3/4 teaspoon of salt.

Spread the mixture onto a silicone mat in a circular shape, avoiding the center to prevent holes.

Microwave the chips for 3 minutes, then check for doneness.

Let the chips cool before peeling them off the mat.

For the second variation, mix dried egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture instead of potato flakes, using about 1 teaspoon of the egg whites.

Spread the egg white mixture onto the silicone mat and microwave for 4 minutes.

Let the chips cool before peeling them off the mat.

For the third variation, mix 1 tablespoon of sour cream and 1/4 teaspoon of onion soup and dip mix into the cottage cheese mixture.

Spread the onion mixture onto the silicone mat and microwave for 4 minutes.

Let the chips cool before peeling them off the mat.
