Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil.
Cook the potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and allow them to cool slightly.
Mash the potatoes in a large bowl until smooth. Add olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, parsley, and cornstarch. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Take small amounts of the potato mixture and form into balls approximately 1.5 inches in diameter.
Prepare the dredging station: place rice flour in one bowl; prepare vegan egg replacer as per the package instructions in another bowl; and fill a third bowl with breadcrumbs.
Roll each potato ball in rice flour, dip in the vegan egg replacer, and coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the potato balls in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for 3-4 minutes per batch or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the potato balls from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the crispy potato balls warm as an appetizer or snack, garnished with extra chopped parsley if desired.
