Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Clean and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer for even pieces, if available.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder. Toss well to ensure the potato slices are evenly coated.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Flip the slices over and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the patatas fritas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. This will help them crisp up further.
Finely chop the fresh parsley while waiting for the fries to cool.
Once slightly cooled, sprinkle the fresh parsley over the patatas fritas and gently toss to combine.
Serve immediately as a snack or a side dish for your favorite Spanish meal.
