Peel and 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 mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, egg, flour, finely chopped onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the teaspoon of olive oil. Swirl the pan to coat evenly.
Spoon the potato mixture into the pan, spreading it out into an even layer about 1/2 inch thick to form a cake.
Cook the potato cake for about 10-12 minutes on one side, or until it is golden brown and holds together well. Carefully flip the cake using a large spatula and cook the other side for another 10-12 minutes.
Once both sides are golden brown and crisp, transfer the supper cake to a plate and slice it into wedges for serving.
Serve warm with unsweetened pear sauce or applesauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.
