Dry the Potatoes
Drain the grated potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.

Season the Potatoes
In a large bowl, combine the dried grated potatoes with salt and black pepper. If using, finely chop the onion and add it to the mixture.
