Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Using a waffle cutter, slice the potatoes into waffle-shaped pieces about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the potato slices to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the potato slices out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Flip the waffle fries over and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
