Step 1
Begin by assembling all your ingredients on the kitchen counter for easy access.

In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

Gently fold in the shredded potatoes and diced onion, ensuring everything is evenly incorporated.

Once the oil is ready, carefully drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the potato mixture into the skillet, leaving ample space between each pancake.
