Main Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion, grated
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup flour can adjust if mixture feels too wet
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grate potatoes and onion on the coarse side of a grater into a large bowl.
  2. Squeeze out excess liquid from the grated mix using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels until damp but not dripping.
  3. In a bowl, mix the drained potato and onion shreds with the eggs and flour. Season with salt and pepper and stir until it holds together when pressed.
  4. Form the mixture into patties roughly the size of your palm and about 1/2 inch thick.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket with space between them.
  2. Cook in the air fryer until the edges are golden and crisp, flipping halfway if necessary.
  3. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

To ensure crispiness, squeeze out as much moisture as possible and avoid overcrowding in the air fryer. Serve warm for the best texture.
