Grate potatoes and onions using a box grater or food processor.

Place grated potatoes and onions in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

Transfer drained mixture to a bowl and add eggs, flour, salt; mix until combined.

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

Spoon portions of the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening them slightly.

Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
