Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2: Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes under cold water and pat them dry. Slice each potato into even rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato slices with the olive oil, salt, and cracked pepper. Toss gently until all slices are well coated.
Step 4: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the potato slices in a single layer on the sheet.
Step 5: Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Once baked, let them cool for a few minutes, then serve hot.
