Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water, and then pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Slice each potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 4 wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the water, whisking continuously until you have a smooth batter.
Preheat the vegetable oil in a large, deep frying pan or heavy pot over medium-high heat to 180°C (350°F). Use a kitchen thermometer to check the temperature.
Dip each potato wedge into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip back into the bowl.
Carefully lower each coated wedge into the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry the wedges for about 8-10 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the wedges from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Continue frying the remaining wedges, ensuring the oil temperature remains consistent for even cooking.
Once all wedges are fried, place them in a serving dish, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
