Preparation:

Step 1
• Peel the potatoes, immediately plunging each tuber into very cold water after peeling.
  
  Remove the potatoes from the water. Grate the potatoes and onion in a food processor using the appropriate attachment. Don't press too hard on the potatoes—just hold them in place.
  
  Place the potatoes and onions in a fine-mesh sieve. Squeeze out all the liquid into a bowl. Let the potato starch settle, then drain as much water as possible, leaving the starch at the bottom. Place the potato and onion mixture in the bowl, add the egg, flour, a teaspoon of salt, and pepper to taste.
Step 2
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat with a thin layer of vegetable oil. Drop generous spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the skillet and spread them out evenly (thin pancakes are the crispiest). Fry until golden brown on the bottom, then carefully flip and cook on the other side for 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel to absorb excess oil. (If you have time before serving, you can re-crisp the pancakes by placing them on a baking sheet lined with a clean paper towel and baking in the oven at 350°F (180°C).)
  
  Serve with apple sauce or your family's favorite toppings: pear compote, sour cream, apple sauce with pieces and cinnamon; and some people eat potato pancakes with ketchup, if that can be called good taste, according to Duff.
