  • Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes; drain and cool until easily handled, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Shred potatoes with a box grater; drain excess water. Transfer shredded potato into a large mixing bowl; stir in parsley, flour, salt, seasoned pepper, and onion powder until combined. Shape potato mixture into 1-inch long potato nuggets.
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Lower potato nuggets carefully into the hot oil in batches, about 5 to 10 at a time. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining nuggets.
