Grate the Potatoes using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
In a large bowl, combine the squeezed Potatoes, Eggs, Flour, grated Onion, Salt, and Pepper.
Heat the Vegetable Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of a spoon.
Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the potato pancakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with Sour Cream and Applesauce.
