Peel the potatoes and cut them into large chunks.
Boil the potato chunks in a pot of salted water for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and mash them until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, rolled oats, flour, butter, milk, and egg. Mix well to form a thick batter.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chives (if using) until evenly distributed.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Scoop the batter into the skillet to form small patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Flatten gently with a spatula.
Cook each potato oat cake for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.
