Potato Latkes

1 tablespoon grated onion
3 eggs, beaten

As possible. In a medium bowl stir the potatoes, onion, eggs, flour and salt
Together. In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, heat the
Oil until hot. Place large spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil,
Pressing down on them to form 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick patties. Brown on one
