Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized cubes, about 1 inch each.
Rinse the potato cubes under cold water to remove excess starch. Pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the potato cubes to the bowl and toss them until they are well-coated with the cornstarch mixture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Carefully add the coated potato cubes to the skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; you may need to fry the potatoes in batches.
Fry the potatoes, turning occasionally, for about 10 to 15 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Remove the fried potatoes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Sprinkle the hot potatoes with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve the vegan crispy fried potatoes immediately for the best texture.
