BLINTZES - CHEESE OR POTATO 
2 eggs, well beaten
1 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. milk (substitute water for parve potato)
1 tbsp. sugar (omit for potato)

Make batter by adding salt, sugar and milk to eggs stirring well to blend; gradually add flour, stirring until smooth.

CHEESE FILLING:

3/4 lb. pot or farmer cheese
1 egg
Salt & pepper to taste or for a sweet Blintz use 2 tsp. sugar (1/2 tsp. cinnamon optional)

In the work bowl of a food processor combine all ingredients and process until smooth.

POTATO FILLING:

4 potatoes (peeled & cooked)
2 onions (chopped & sauteed)
1 egg
Salt & pepper to taste

In the work bowl of a food processor, combine all ingredients until smooth, adjust seasonings.

Make Leaves: Heat a 6 inch to 7 inch skillet, greased lightly, over moderately high heat. Pour in sufficient batter to thinly coat the bottom of the pan, quickly rotate the pan to distribute batter evenly. Pour excess batter back into bowl. Cook until the batter sets and the edge of the pancake starts to leave the sides of the pan. Turn out onto a clean cloth and repeat until all batter is used, greasing pan when needed. Regulate the heat and frying time so that each pancake will cook to a uniform pale gold color.

Fill the leaves: Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of the cooked side of the pancake and fold over to make a square pocket or place filling at one end of the Blintz leaf and roll up encasing the filling. Fry the Blintzes on all sides until golden. Serve with sour cream and/or fruit sauces.

I just made these-slightly sweet cheese style. Yum! I made half of the batch with 1/2 tablespoon of the filling, rolled them then chilled them and turned this wonderful recipe into a gourmet toddler finger food!
