Sauté the onions. Grind the meat and onions together.

Mash the potatoes and mix with the remaining ingredients

Cook the crepes by mixing all the ingredients until smooth. Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter and pour onto a oiled griddle/fry pan. Swirl around so the batter forms a round shape. Cook for about 2 minutes on both sides.

Put aside to cool. Once cooled, put about 1 tbsp of filling in the center and fold the crepe to form an oblong. About 1" x 2" each. Put these on a cookie sheet and freeze. Once frozen, remove from cookie sheet a put in a plastic bag in the freezer for later use.
