    1. Peel the onion and remove the skin, then cut in half and finely slice from the top to bottom ( Length wise). Grate the potato and soak it in water ( so it doesn't get brown)  squeeze  the water with your hands when making the batter.
    2. In a mixing bowl add all the ingredients .  I find this step is easiest if you just mix with your hands.
    3. Once you've got a thick batter,Wet your hands and form into  fairly loosely formed flat discs.
    4. Place the discs in the air fryer, spray with oil spray and then cook for 12 minutes at 180°C or 350°F.
