Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Place a potato between two chopsticks or wooden spoon handles. This will prevent you from slicing all the way through.
3. Carefully slice the potato vertically at 1/8-inch intervals.
4. Flip the potato over and slice diagonally at 1/8-inch intervals.
5. Gently stretch the potato to reveal the accordion or lattice pattern. Skewer the potato lengthwise.
6. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, and paprika. Brush the mixture all over the potatoes, getting into the crevices.
7. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese in the last 5 minutes of baking if desired. Garnish with parsley.
