Place grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes and onion. Stir in eggs, flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder (if using), and baking powder until well mixed. Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening each into a pancake with the back of the spoon. Fry for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain the pancakes on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh chives.
