- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp chopped onion
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Squeeze excess water from the grated potatoes thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to ensure the pancakes are crispy.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes with flour, eggs, chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
