In a large bowl, grate the onion and the flour with a box grater. You can also do this in a food processor, if you have the right attachments.

Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from mixture and sprinkle with salt. Transfer to another bowl and add the chives, flour, eggs, and salt and pepper. Gently mix together with a fork.

Pour about 1/2 cup of grape seed oil into a large pan and heat over medium high heat.

To form the latkes, take 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and flatten it into a 3 inch circle. Fry for about 4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. (adjust time if your latkes are browning faster)

Transfer latkes to a paper tower lined plate and let some of the oil drip off. Serve with sour cream or any other toppings you prefer.
