Wash and dry the potatoes. Use the large holes of the grater to grate potatoes and cheese. Transfer the potatoes into a kitchen towel; squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Place grated potatoes in a large bowl; add cheeses, onion, garlic powder, flour, eggs, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Use an ice cream scoop to measure equal amounts of potato mixture; add to the pan; use the back of a spoon to flatten out the patties. Cook about 3 or 4 patties at a time, until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining potato mixture.
Transfer the pancakes to a plate/platter lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Dipping sauce:
Mix sour cream with chili garlic sauce.
Serve the potato pancakes with a side of the dipping sauce while pancakes are still hot/warm.
Makes about 15 potato pancakes.
