Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
Place the potato cubes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a mixing bowl, toss the dried potato cubes with the cornstarch. Ensure each piece is lightly coated.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, then drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes. Mix well to evenly coat the potatoes with the spices and oil.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Spread the seasoned potato cubes out on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This helps achieve maximum crispiness.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning.
Once golden and crispy, remove the potato bites from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
