Preheat the oven to 400°F / 200°C.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Peel the russet potatoes.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cool water.
Pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.
Place the potato slices on the prepared baking tray.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potato slices.
Sprinkle the salt and cracked black pepper evenly over the potatoes.
Toss the potato slices until they are lightly and evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Arrange the potato slices in a single flat layer on the parchment paper.
Ensure that the slices do not overlap, as overlapping may prevent proper crisping.
Place the baking tray in the preheated oven.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potato slices are golden, crisp on the edges, and tender in the center.
Remove the baking tray from the oven.
Allow the potato slices to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or snack with a preferred dip.
