1. Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Stir in the shredded potatoes and chopped onion, mixing until well coated.
2. Fry the Pancakes
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop heaping spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening them gently with a spatula to form pancakes.
3. Cook Until Golden
Fry for about 3 minutes per side, or until the pancakes are crisp and golden brown.
4. Drain & Serve
Transfer cooked pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil. Continue frying in batches until all the potato mixture is used. Serve warm.
