Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove all dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut each potato into thick wedges, about 1/2 inch in thickness. To do this, first slice the potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into wedges.
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, ground black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and half of the dried parsley. Toss the potatoes well to coat them evenly with the seasoning and oil.
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow even cooking and crisping.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown evenly on both sides.
Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of a wedge. The fork should go through easily when they are fully cooked.
Once cooked, remove the chips from the oven and sprinkle them with the remaining dried parsley for added flavor and presentation.
Serve hot immediately, enjoying your delicious low sodium homemade chunky chips either as a side dish or a snack.
