Peel and cube the potatoes. Boil them in a pot of salted water for about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooled potatoes using a masher or fork until smooth.
Add to the mashed potatoes: gluten-free flour, eggs, chopped chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Roll each potato ball in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat to approximately 350°F (175°C). You can test the heat by dropping a breadcrumb into the oil; it should sizzle and start to turn golden.
Carefully place a few potato balls into the hot oil without overcrowding the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Remove the potato balls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining potato balls until all are cooked.
Serve the crispy potato balls warm, garnished with extra chives or your favorite dipping sauce.
