Peel the potatoes and put in cold water. Coarsely
grate the potatoes and onion, using a grater.
Place together in fine-mesh strainer or tea towel
and squeeze out all water over bowl. The potato
starch will settle to bottom; reserve that after
you have carefully poured off the water. Mix the
potato and onion with the potato starch. Add the
egg, and salt and pepper. Heat a griddle or
nonstick pan and coat with think film of vegetable
oil. Take about 2 Tbsp of potato mixture in palm
of hand and flatten. Plate on griddle, flatten
with spatula, and fry for few minutes until
golden. Flip to other side. Remove to paper towels
to drain.
