Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. You can choose to leave the peel on if you prefer extra fiber and texture.
Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds about 1/8 inch thick.
Place the potato slices in a large bowl filled with cold water. Let them soak for 5-10 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve maximum crispiness.
Drain the potato slices and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, black pepper, sea salt, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss the potato slices in the oil mixture until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the coated potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once done, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheets before serving.
Enjoy these heart-healthy chips as a snack or a side dish with your favorite dip!
