Cut potatoes into small pieces to fit through the food processor.

Cut onion to fit through the food processor as well.

Grate the potatoes using a finer grate for the old-fashioned method.

Put the grated potatoes and onion in a strainer to drain and squeeze them dry.

In a large bowl, add beaten eggs, flour, and salt and pepper to taste, then mix well.

Add the grated potato and onion mixture to the bowl and mix until combined.

Preheat oil for frying.

Spoonfuls of the potato mixture are carefully placed in the hot oil without touching them.

Fry until crisp and brown around the edges, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side.

Carefully turn the pancakes to avoid splattering and flatten them slightly to ensure thorough cooking.

Drain the cooked pancakes on paper towels.
