1. Prep the Potatoes and Onions: Grate the potatoes and onions using a coarse grater. Place them in a large bowl and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
2. Create the Batter: Add the beaten eggs, gluten-free flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the potato and onion mixture. Stir until just combined.
3. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet and spread it into a thin, round pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
4. Serve Immediately: Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
