Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare the potatoes by peeling them and slicing them thinly, about 1/8-inch thick, using a mandoline for best results. Immediately place the sliced potatoes into a large bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Drain the water from the sliced potatoes thoroughly. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes. Season with garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, and salt. Toss the potatoes by hand to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.

Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on one or two large baking sheets (depending on size, avoid overcrowding). Place the baking sheets into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potato slices are golden brown and crispy.
