In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, flour, onion, and egg until they form a thick and creamy batter. Season with salt and pepper.

Preheat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop a 4-inch mound of the batter onto the preheated oil. Flatten the mound with a flat spatula and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.

Transfer the cake onto a serving plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining batter. 

Serve immediately.
