Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using the coarse side of a box grater.
Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is important to ensure the patties are crispy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until evenly combined.
Form the mixture into round patties, approximately 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. You should be able to make about 8 patties.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the potato patties, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Country Breakfast Potato Patties hot with your favorite breakfast sides or condiments. Enjoy!
