- Drain the onion and add it to the bowl with the beaten egg.
- Remove the potatoes from the pan with a slotted spoon, draining the oil away as much as possible, and add them to the bowl with the onion and egg.
- Let the mixture rest for at least 5 minutes so all the flavors come together. Give it a very gentle stir from time to time.⏱ 5 min
