Ingredients
- Oil for frying
- 1 cup flour any flour including gluten-free, plus a little more if necessary to make the mixture stick
- 4 eggs
- 1 large onion grated very fine (use a food processor)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a heavy skillet, about 1∕3 inch high, until very hot. Keep the temperature medium-high.
- Mix all remaining ingredients thoroughly in a bowl, adding a little extra flour if necessary to make the mixture stick. Form patties and throw them in the hot oil. Fry until golden, about 3 minutes on each side. Take out with a slotted spoon and transfer onto a plate lined with paper towels. You will get about 16 patties total.
- Serve hot, alone, or with your favorite sauce and burger toppings.
- They will freeze very well. Reheat them in one layer in a 300° oven for 12-15 minutes.
