- Grate the potatoes onto a clean dish cloth, then gather up the edges to make a pouch. Squeeze to remove as much liquid as possible.
- Grate or finely chop the onion into a large bowl and add the potatoes, chopped bacon, flour and seasonings. Mix well.
- Beat the eggs and stir into the potato mixture. Heat some oil in a large frying pan. Add heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture and flatten them to make thin pancakes. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Lift out, drain on paper towels and serve.
