4 large russet potatoes

2 eggs
¼ c all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon sea salt or to taste
¼ teaspoon pepper or to taste
2 tablespoon vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Prep the veggies: Peel and cube the potatoes. And onion if using a food processor. Or grate them if using a grater.
Strain and squeeze: Put the potato mixture into a fine strainer. Or kitchen towel. And squeeze out as much liquid as possible into a bowl. Discard the liquid. But keep the white potato starch at the bottom.
Mix it all up: Return the potato mixture to the bowl with the starch. Add eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. And mix well.
Fry them up: Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the skillet. And spread slightly. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Until crispy and golden brown.
Serve and enjoy: Place pancakes on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy!
