from [https://www.kochbar.de/rezept/511629/Oma-Friede-s-ostpr-Kartoffelpuffer-Rzpt-um-1890.html Kochbar] (a recipe around 1890)

= Ingredients =
* 870g Peeled potatoes (about 8)
* 130g peeled onions (2 medium)
* 4 large Eggs 
** If you are using small eggs, just use 1-2 more. The eggs provide the "binding".
* 2 tsp Sugar
* 2 tsp Caraway, if you like it	
* 2 tsp Salt
* 100g or so Neutral oil for frying

= Directions =
# Grate the peeled potatoes and onions on a fine grater (please do not use a "strip grater"). It's a bit laborious, but the result is GREAT.
# Now add all other ingredients (eggs, salt, sugar, caraway) to the "potato-onion dough" and mix everything well.
# Heat the oil in a saucepan.
# Then fry the pancakes in the hot fat as desired (round or "East Prussian sandwich-shaped").
# Place them on a cake rack and keep them warm (in the oven).

The author's serving suggestion:<br>
''"We always have apple sauce or original East Prussian blueberry compote, sugar and "a fresh pot of muckefuk" (malt coffee) with the pancakes. (Bean coffee is a no-go, because it doesn't taste good with the pancakes at all.) I think these are still childhood memories, but everyone can try it out for themselves."''
