German Potato Pancakes (Kartoffelpuffer)

Instructions

Grate the potatoes and onion using a grater.
Place the grated mixture in a clean cloth and squeeze out excess liquid.
In a bowl, combine the potatoes, onion, egg, flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and flatten it in the pan to form a pancake.
Fry for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
