Instructions

1. 1

   Place potatoes in salted water and let sit for about 15 minutes.

   Grate potatoes on a medium or fine setting. Press out liquid; this should produce about 4 cups grated potato.

   Place grated potato in a bowl and stir in flour, onion, salt, and pepper. Fold in eggs.

4. 4

   Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

5. 5

   Heat enough oil in a deep pan to reach 1/4 inch up the sides. Heat over medium-high heat until a drop of batter sizzles. Lower heat to medium.

6. 6

   Working in batches, drop batter into the hot oil in desired size and flatten into pancakes; brown on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared pans and keep warm in the preheated oven while you fry remaining batter.
