1. In large bowl, beat eggs well with wire whisk. Add flour and beat well with whisk. Stir in potatoes and green onions. Add salt and pepper and mix again.
2. In large frying pan, heat 3/4 cup canola oil over medium heat. Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop out potato mixture and drop mixture into heated canola oil. Flatten into a pancake in the oil. Cook pancakes on each side for about 3 – 4 minutes or until pancakes are deep golden brown.
