Boil potatoes in aggressively salted water until soft. Drain, feed through food mill and reserve. Heat medium-size sauté pan on medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil, and when hot, sauté onions until translucent, season and fold into potato. Add pepper, paprika and herbs to the mixture and whisk in egg, baking powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons oil and, when hot, fry 2 pancakes, turning once, until golden brown on both sides. Add more oil, if necessary, and continue cooking rest of pancakes. Pancakes can be held in a 200-degree oven for up to 30 minutes.
