Peel the potatoes and cut them into large chunks for quicker cooking.
Boil the potato chunks in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 12-15 minutes. Drain well and mash until smooth. Allow the mashed potatoes to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped green onions. Mix until a smooth, scoopable batter forms.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
Using a scoop or spoon, drop approximately 1/4 cup of the potato mixture onto the skillet for each pancake. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon to form a pancake shape.
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter and olive oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the potato pancakes warm with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
