Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for texture.
Using a mandoline with a waffle cutter attachment, carefully slice the potatoes to create the waffle shape. Keep the slices around 1/4 inch thick.
Soak the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the dried waffle fries in a large bowl. Pour the seasoned oil mixture over them and toss gently to coat evenly.
Spread the seasoned waffle fries in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese before serving. Serve immediately for the best texture.
