Preheat the oven to 200 ° O / bottom heat. Line the tray with baking foil (would be ideal) or paper. Peel the potatoes, peel the onion. Roughly grate both of them (as for a hash brown), place in a sieve lined with a cloth, allow to drain and then squeeze out well with the help of the cloth. Then mix in a bowl with the egg, starch, pepper and salt. Spread the 3 tablespoons of oil on the baking mat or paper and immediately distribute the potato mixture to the edge and smooth it out. Place the tray on the 2nd rail from the bottom in the oven for 30 minutes. When the edge has become slightly crispy all around, remove the tray and let the potato platter cool down to lukewarm.
