Instructions
Peel and grate the potatoes. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. Finely chop the onion and add it to the potatoes. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Add the potato and onion mixture, stirring to coat.
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil, flattening slightly. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with salt while hot. Repeat until all the mixture is used. Serve immediately!
Variations
- Add grated zucchini or carrots.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese during cooking.
- Serve with sour cream and chives.

Keto-Friendly Option
