I don't have my books with me but try The Order of Discourse, 'Truth and power' and 'Two lectures'. If Foucault does use the term these are the most likely places.
You raise a useful point about secondary commentary inventing terms which then get attributed to the primary source and the necessity to carefully check. I won't even begin to mention the problems of translation...

I cannot find this phrase in the text you mention - do you have a reference to the page on which Foucault uses "genealogy of power"?
The reason I am asking the question is that I don't remember ever reading this phrase in any of Foucault's texts, and so I'm wondering whether is actually a product of secondary commentary which, through reiteration, has somehow become attributed to Foucault himself.
