Oven-Crisped Potato Cakes

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Coat baking sheet with cooking spray.

Put potatoes and onion on a clean towel. Roll up towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.

Stir flour salt and black pepper into potato mixture; mix well.

Stir egg and 2 teaspoons canola oil into potato mixture until combined.

Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Scoop up potato mixture with a 1/4-cup measuring cup and drop into hot oil. Flatten into patties with a spatula. Cook patties until golden brown 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

Transfer cakes to prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until cakes are browned and crisp 12 to 15 minutes.
