Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Grate the half onion and add it to the squeezed potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Stir in the all-purpose flour, egg, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening it gently with a spatula to form a round pancake. Cook 3 to 4 pancakes at a time without overcrowding the pan.
Fry each pancake for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
Transfer the cooked hash brown pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture, adding the second tablespoon of vegetable oil as needed between batches.
Serve the hash brown pancakes hot with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, chives, or ketchup.
