Instructions

1. 1
   Gather all ingredients.
2. 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. 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. 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. 5
   Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
6. 6
   Serve hot and enjoy!
