Place grated potatoes in bowl. Rinse well, drain, then wrap in towel to draw out remaining moisture. Return potatoes to bowl and mix in onion, egg yolks and seasoning.
Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in frying pan. Divide potato mixture into eight balls, then flatten them out slightly. Fry over moderate heat for approximately 10 minutes on either side, until golden brown. Remove from pan, drain on kitchen paper and transfer to plate in warm oven.
