Step 1
Peel potatoes, grate them on the large holes of a box grater, then squeeze out excess moisture in a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Dice onion fine. Toss grated potato with cheese, onion, flour, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Step 3
Heat butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until foaming, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Press potato mixture into the pan, spreading it flat to the edges. Cook without stirring until bottom is golden and crisp, 6–8 minutes.
Step 5
Slide cake onto a plate, flip it back into the pan raw-side down, and cook until second side is golden and cheese melts through, 5–6 minutes.
Step 6
Slide onto a cutting board, slice into wedges, and serve hot with a sharp pickled onion or fresh green salad on the side.
