Preparation

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and onion.

Place the grated potatoes on a piece of cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel, gather the ends together, and wring the potatoes to extract their moisture.

Add the grated potatoes to the egg mixture and stir well.

Shape the mixture into 6 thin potato pancakes.

In a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil until almost smoking.

Add 3 of the pancakes and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Repeat with the remaining 3 pancakes.

Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
