Grate the potatoes on the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a bowl and set aside.
Dice the onion. Place the diced onion in the bowl with the grated potatoes.
Crack the eggs into the bowl and mix them with the potatoes and onion.
Add the flour, salt, and pepper to the bowl and mix everything together until it is well combined.

Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil.
