from Grandma’s notes, potato pancakes, potato cookies

Grate peeled and washed potatoes into a medium-coarse grater. Squeeze dry liquid into a tea towel. Peel the onion and also grate it into a medium-coarse grater. Place both ingredients in a bowl and mix well with the other ingredients; whisk the eggs first if necessary. Let the batter rest a little. Then fry a small sample of the potatoes in a frying pan in heated oil and season to taste. Season again if necessary. Add a small ladleful of the mixture to the pan and fry small pancakes for about 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Don’t skimp on the oil when frying. Drain the potato pancakes on a kitchen towel or paper towel and serve quickly and hot. Note: I prefer beet or maple syrup as a dip.
