Ingredients

2
tablespoons
all-purpose flour
¼
teaspoon
baking powder
½
teaspoon
salt
¼
teaspoon
pepper
6
medium potatoes
peeled and shredded
½
cup
finely chopped onion
¼
cup
vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper together.
Stir in the shredded potatoes and finely chopped onion into the egg mixture until well combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil in batches. Press each heap down to flatten.
Cook each side until they are browned and crispy, approximately 3 minutes per side.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture.
