Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips.
Step 3
Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
Step 4
Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a clean towel.
Step 5
Place the potatoes in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 6
Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
