Peel and grate the potatoes. Place in a clean dish towel and squeeze well. The less liquid remains, the crispier the potato pancakes will be.
Peel and finely chop onion.
Mix grated potatoes with eggs, onion and spices. If necessary, add flour if the mixture does not hold.
Heat enough oil in a coated frying pan. The oil should be hot (do a cooking spoon test). Place 1 tablespoon of mixture in each and press flat. Fry until crispy and golden on both sides (don’t turn too soon so the pancake doesn’t fall apart!).
Drain on kitchen roll and serve.
