Peel and shred the large russet potato using a box grater. Place the shredded potato in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded potato, flaked cooked salmon, beaten egg, panko breadcrumbs, sliced green onions, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a compact patty, approximately 3 inches in diameter.
Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the salmon cakes to the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Fry the salmon cakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to gently flip the cakes to prevent them from falling apart.
Once cooked, remove the salmon cakes from the skillet and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve the Shredded Potato Salmon Cakes warm with your choice of dipping sauce or a side salad.
