  Combine potato, onion, egg, salt and pepper in a medium bowl; mix well. Melt butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add potato mixture, spreading out to a single layer. Cook 4 minutes or until deep golden brown. Use a wide spatula to carefully flip potato over so browned side is up (or slide onto a plate and flip over back into skillet). Cook 3 minutes or until bottom begins to brown.
