- 200g (7 oz) wheat flour

Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Grate the potatoes and carrot. Finely chop the leek or onion and set everything aside.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated carrot, chopped leek or onion, eggs, kefir (or yogurt), and wheat flour. Stir everything well to form a thick batter.

Notes
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
