Ingredients

5 medium potatoes, peeled and shredded
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 large eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

Squeeze out excess liquid from the shredded potatoes using a clean kitchen towel.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, onion, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop spoonfuls of potato batter into the hot skillet, working in batches. Use a spatula to flatten the batter lightly, and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides (about 4 minutes per side). Keep the finished pancakes warm while cooking the remaining batches, then serve hot.
