1
Cut the large potatoes into bite-sized half-moon slices.
2
Place the potato slices in a medium pot and add just enough water to cover them. Cover and bring to a boil, watching to prevent overflow.
3
Test the potatoes with a fork to ensure they are tender. Carefully drain the hot water and use a spatula to spread them out. Let them rest for a few minutes to release moisture.
4
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
5
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and chili oil to the potatoes. Toss aggressively to ensure all the potatoes are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
6
Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading them out in a single layer.
7
Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the potatoes are golden and crispy. Season with salt to taste and serve.
