   In a large bowl, toss potato slices with olive oil (2 tbs), garlic powder (0.25 tsp), salt (0.5 tsp), and black pepper (0.25 tsp) until evenly coated; drizzle with truffle oil (1 tbs) and toss again to coat.

   Remove chips from oven; while hot, sprinkle with grated Parmesan (2 tbs) and chopped fresh parsley or chives (1 tbs). If desired, return to oven for 1-2 minutes to melt cheese slightly. Finish with a light drizzle of remaining truffle oil if desired.
