Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prep potatoes: Wash and thinly slice potatoes. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture — this helps them get crispy.
Season: In a large bowl, toss potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange on baking sheet: Lay slices in a single layer without overlapping.
Bake: 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy hot with ketchup, aioli, or your favorite dipping sauce!
đź’ˇ Tips
Crispier slices: Soak potato slices in cold water for 15–20 minutes before baking, then dry completely.
Even cooking: Use a mandoline slicer for uniform thickness.
Flavor variations: Try smoked paprika, chili powder, or rosemary for different flavors.
Make-ahead: Slice and season ahead, then bake just before serving.
If you want, I can also give you a loaded version with cheese, bacon, and green onions that turns these crispy slices into a decadent side dish or appetizer. Do you want me to share that?
