Steps:
- Rinse shredded potatoes until water is clear, then drain and squeeze dry. Place shreds in a bowl, and mix in the onion, flour and egg until evenly distributed.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is sizzling hot, place potatoes into the pan in a 1/2 inch thick layer. Cover the whole bottom of the pan, or make separate piles like pancakes. Cook until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip over and brown on the other side. It should take at least 5 minutes per side. If you are cooking them in one big piece, it can be cut into quarters for easier flipping.
- Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Shred potatoes into a large bowl filled with cold water. Stir until water is cloudy, drain, and cover potatoes again with fresh cold water. Stir again to dissolve excess starch. Drain potatoes well, pat dry with paper towels, and squeeze out any excess moisture.

- Cook potatoes until a brown crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Continue to cook and stir until potatoes are browned all over, about 5 more minutes.

Tips:
- For the best results, use a cast-iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed frying pan.
- Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the potatoes. This will help them to brown evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you do, the potatoes will steam instead of brown.
- Use a spatula to gently press down on the potatoes as they cook. This will help them to brown evenly.
- Don't stir the potatoes too much. Stirring them too much will break them up and make them mushy.
- Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the potatoes immediately.
