Peel potatoes and shred them in a food processor (grate them if you do not have a food processor)

Mix the chopped onion together with the shredded potatoes

Using a sieve squeeze as much liquid as you can out of the potato/onion mixture.

Add eggs, flour, and salt and mix thoroughly.

Place a later of paper towels next to the stove.

Add about ¼ cup of peanut oil to a frying pan and heat.

When the oil is sizzling, form a small ball out of the mixture, place it in the pan, and flatten it with a spatula.

After a few minutes, flip the latkes to brown on both sides.

Transfer to the paper towels. Gently pat to remove excess oil.

Transfer to a platter and serve warm.
