1. Peel and grate potatoes and onion into a strainer sitting in a large bowl.
2. Wait about ten minutes, allowing liquid to drip into bowl.
3. Press out any additional liquid.
4. Discard liquid and put grated potatoes and onion into the large bowl.
5. Add remaining ingredients and mix gently until combined.
6. Fill a frying pan with about 1/4 of vegetable oil and heat over medium high heat.
7. Drop large spoonfuls of mixture into hot oil and press with back of spoon until flattened.
