Peel the potatoes and cut them into large chunks.
Place the potato chunks into a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly before mashing them in a large bowl until smooth.
Add the chopped parsley, dill, green onion, Parmesan cheese, egg, flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined.
Divide the potato mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4-inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the potato cakes in the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook each side for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the potato cakes from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve hot as a side dish or with a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
