- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions
- Peel and grate the potatoes. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch, then drain thoroughly.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions until translucent, then add ground beef and cook until browned.
