Finely chop the onion and mix it with the grated potatoes in a large bowl.

Add eggs, flour, salt, and black pepper to the potato mixture and stir until combined.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Scoop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with a spatula.

7

Fry the pancakes for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
