Ingredients
•
2 large eggs
•
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
•
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

6 medium potatoes, peeled and shredded

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

1/4 cup vegetable oil
Directions
1
Gather all ingredients.
2
Beat eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl; stir in shredded potatoes and onion.
3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of potato mixture into hot oil, working in batches. Flatten slightly by pressing with a spatula.
4
Cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side.
5
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. You can cover them very loosely with aluminum foil to hold in heat without steaming them.

Repeat with remaining potato mixture. Serve warm.
