Gather potatoes, onion, eggs, flour/besan, salt, and pepper.
Peel and shred potatoes and onion.
In a large bowl, add all ingredients to shredded potatoes and onion.
Using a fork, mix together until egg is beat and flour/besan is well distributed.
Using a 1/3 cup, spoon out mixture into saucepan over medium-high heat. I prefer my Potato Pancakes flat, so I use a fork to flatten pancake mixture once on pan.
Once edges of pancake begin to brown, flip and cook other side until browned to your own liking.
Continue until all batter is gone, then serve warm!
