Ok you read my mind. I just happened to see this. Now I am going to have to try and make these since I am Polish and from Milwaukee which I think is the home of the Friday Fish Fry.

I just had these at a german restaurant a week ago. They were actually pretty good. This one will be tried for sure

Fish on Friday is an old Catholic thing.

I like to add some shredded leeks or green onions... Stir in a touch (1/4 tsp) of ground Tumeric; adds nice color to the oil and pancakes.

The wife's recipe.

You need to grate the potatoes and then squeeze all the water out, add the onions to the potatoes and stir in egg and salt.

1 pound potatoes
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt

Fry them in a little olive oil and make more than you think anybody could possibly eat. Yukon Gold potatoes make some really outstanding laktes.
