Pare potatoes with a vegetable peeler. Grate potatoes on medium grater into a large bowl. Add onion, salt, and pepper and mix lightly but well with a blending fork.

Put a 12-inch plate (or very large pie plate) upside down on top of potatoes and, with one hand handle of frying pan and the other hand guiding the plate, turn frying pan upside-down, then lift off the pancake. This put the pancake back on the plate.
