2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Rinse the grated potatoes under cold running water, drain, and pat dry on paper towels. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
Mix the scallions, flour, and eggs into the potatoes and season well with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a heavy skillet.
Drop about 4 tablespoons of the mixture into the skillet and spread each one with the back of a spoon to form a circle (the mixture should make 16 pancakes).

Heat the remaining oil and cook the remaining mixture in batches.
