Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can peel them if preferred, but leaving the skin on provides extra nutrients and crispiness.
Using a mandoline slicer with a waffle blade, slice the potatoes into waffle-shaped slices around 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Toss well to ensure each slice is coated with the seasoning.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. This helps them cook evenly and become crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, flip each slice with a spatula and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the waffle fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the fries before serving.
Serve the waffle fries immediately for maximum crispiness. Enjoy your Whole30-compliant waffle fries as a delicious side dish or snack!
