Begin by grating 4 large potatoes with a box grater, then squeeze out moisture using a kitchen towel.

In the bowl with the squeezed potatoes, add 1 finely chopped onion, 1 beaten egg, ¼ cup flour, and season with salt and pepper. Stir gently.

Take about ¼ cup of the mixture and mold it into an oval shape to resemble a ghost.

In a skillet, heat ¼ inch of neutral oil over medium-high heat. Drop a small piece of mixture to check if the oil sizzles.

Carefully place shaped ghosts into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Once fried, remove them from the skillet and press small pieces of black olives onto the hash browns to create spooky eyes.
