3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ cup neutral oil (such as vegetable oil or canola oil), plus more as needed

Instructions

1
Grate the potatoes and onion on the large holes of a box grater (or using the grating disc of a food processor) into a large mixing bowl.
2
Transfer the grated potato and onion mixture to a clean kitchen towel or several layers of cheesecloth. Gather the corners and twist firmly over the sink, squeezing out as much liquid as possible — the mixture should feel nearly dry and the towel will be soaked. Return the wrung mixture to the bowl.
