First, shred the 2 potatoes and rinse them off under cold water until the water is clear. Transfer the potatoes in the middle of a clean dishcloth and close it. Press it down to extract all the water.

Combine the egg, potatoes, onion, flour, salt and pepper. If you want to add more seasoning do it now.

Create some pattie in whatever shape your fancy but don’t make them too high. Probably best to keep them under 1/2 inch if you want them crispy

Heat the oil in a pan over medium/high heat.

The amount of oil you need is whatever is needed to cover the entire bottom of the pan with about 1/16 depth. You don’t want a bath of oil but it does need to bath in it.

Once the oil is hot, using a spatula transfer some patties to the pan, make sure not to overcrowd the pan as it will drop the oil temperature and will make it hard to flip them.

Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side. Flip them over when they have a nice browning

Transfer to a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle a little bit of salt

Repeat for remaining patties.
