Directions:
Directions:
Grate the onions fine, on the grater and add them to the potatoes, and the other ingredients and mix them carefully. Depending on how wet the dough is put some flour or oat flakes to it, so that you get a not too solid dough. Put oil into a pan and when it is really hot, take with a spoon a bit from the dough and put it into the pan and push it to a flat cake. They have to be "golden" from both sides (you have to turn them after a while) the border of that pancake has to be real crisp. Eat them hot on a slice of bread, (Schwarzbrot-that is dark bread), with butter and put Ruebenkraut (sugar-root syrup) or Apfelkraut (apple syrup) on it.
