2 tbsp vegetable oil butter, for frying

Instructions

Grate the potatoes and onion using a coarse grater. Place in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess liquid.
4 medium potatoes
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes and onion with the eggs, flour, chopped ham, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
1 small onion, 2 large eggs, 4 slices cooked ham, 3 tbsp plain flour, salt, pepper
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a little oil or butter.
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Scoop about ¼ cup of the mixture per pancake and flatten gently in the pan. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil or butter as needed.
