1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Rinse shredded potatoes until water is clear, then drain and squeeze dry. Place shreds in a bowl and mix in the onion, flour, and egg until evenly distributed.
3 Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is sizzling hot, place potatoes into the pan in a 1/2-inch thick layer. Cover the whole bottom of the pan, or make separate piles like pancakes.
4 Cook until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip over and brown on the other side. It should take at least 5 minutes per side. If you are cooking them in one big piece, it can be cut into quarters for easier flipping.
5 Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
6 Serve hot and enjoy!
