Wash and peel the potatoes. Use a mandoline slicer to cut the potatoes into thin, even slices, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
Rinse the potato slices in cold water to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving crispy slices. Drain and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. It should be hot enough so that a potato slice sizzles when it touches the oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.
Fry the potato slices in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. This helps them cook evenly and stay crispy.
Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked slices to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Immediately sprinkle each batch with the spice mixture to ensure the seasoning adheres while they are still hot.
Allow the potato slices to cool slightly, as they will continue to crisp up as they cool. Serve warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
