Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them with cooking spray.
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to cut the potatoes into very thin, even slices (about 1/8 inch thick).
Place the potato slices into a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps the crisps stay crunchy.
Drain the potato slices and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Toss the potato slices in the seasoned oil until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, being careful not to overlap them.
Bake the potato slices in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the trays, flip the slices over carefully using tongs or a spatula, and bake for another 8-10 minutes or until the slices are golden brown and crisp.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the hot crisps immediately after removing them from the oven. Allow the cheese to melt for 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the cheese potato crisps to a serving plate and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
