Regional specialty with potatoes

Finely grate the raw potatoes and onion. Pour the hot milk, seasoned with salt, onto the mixture, then stir in the eggs (do not separate them) and flour. Grease the pan with the bacon rind. For one oven cake, use about 2 tablespoons of batter. Bake the oven cakes until wafer-thin. Spread either fresh butter or dark beetroot syrup on the still-hot oven cakes, roll them up, and eat. Enjoy! In the past, oven cakes were baked on thin metal sheets on the coal-fired stove in the kitchen, but they work just as well in a pan.
