Step 1

Finely grate the potatoes, and drain any liquid. Then place the potatoes in a large bowl.

Step 2

Add the egg, onion, flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder to the bowl, and mix well.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1/8 inch of oil over medium heat. Drop the batter into the oil by 1/4 cupfuls, and press lightly to flatten the pancakes into shape. Fry the pancakes until they're golden brown on both sides, and serve immediately.
