Begin by washing and peeling the potatoes. Cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices or half-moons to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water. Let them sit for about 5 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot, but not smoking, before adding the potatoes.
Carefully add the dried potato slices to the skillet in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. You may need to cook them in batches.
Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder for seasoning. Add the red chili flakes for a bit of heat, if desired.
Cook the potatoes without stirring for 5-7 minutes, allowing them to develop a golden-brown crust on the bottom.
Flip the potatoes using a spatula, and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, or until the other side is crispy and golden-brown.
Once cooked through and crisped to your liking, remove the potatoes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve the pan-fried potatoes hot as a side dish to complement your meal.
