Peel and grate the russet potatoes using a box grater, and then place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water to prevent discoloration.
Finely chop the green onions and set them aside.
Drain the grated potatoes thoroughly and squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
In a large mixing bowl, add the grated potatoes, green onions, all-purpose flour, and garlic powder.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs with salt and black pepper, then add this to the potato mixture. Mix everything well until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture for each cake and shape into patties.
Place the patties in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Add more olive oil to the skillet as needed for the next batch and repeat until all the potato mixture is cooked.
Remove the potato cakes from the skillet and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve the savory potato cakes warm with your choice of toppings or garnishes, such as sour cream or applesauce.
