Ingredients
About 16 whole wheat crepes
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cups mashed, unseasoned potatoes
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt White pepper
About 4 tablespoons butter or margarine
About 1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
Finely chopped chives or green onion

Directions
Prepare crepes.
In a small frying pan over medium heat, melt butter.
Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown (about 15 minutes).
Stir into mashed potatoes.
Beat egg and stir into potatoes along with salt and a dash of pepper.
For each blintz, place a crepe, browned side up, on a flat surface.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture onto center of crepe.
Fold opposite sides over center so they overlap slightly, then fold bottom up over sides and roll over top to enclose.
Place, folded side down, on a pan or tray.
Repeat until all crepes are filled.
If made ahead, cover and refrigerate until next day.
Before serving, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a wide frying pan over medium heat.
Place blintzes, folded sides down, in pan.
Cook, turning carefully, until both sides are browned.
Add more butter, about 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed, and brown remaining blintzes.
