Steps:
- Place potatoes in a pot of cold water, bring to a boil and cook gently until they are tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Drain, then peel and finely mash the potatoes in a mixing bowl. You should have about 1 1/2 cups potato puree.
- Add flour and salt and pepper, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the cream, mix until smooth, cover and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day the mixture should have the consistency of Russian dressing. If it is too thick, thin it with a tablespoon or two of milk. Check seasonings.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Place 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. When the butter turns a light amber, drop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the batter in the skillet, allowing it to spread by itself. You should be able to fry 3 pancakes at a time, allowing enough space between them so they have a nice round shape. They should be about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Cook about a minute on the first side, flip them over and cook about 30 seconds longer. Remove from the pan, and place on a heatproof platter in the oven to keep warm. Continue adding butter to the pan and frying the rest of the batter.
- Serve the crepes warm as a side dish, or topped with caviar and sour cream or creme fraiche or, for dessert, with jam and a sprinkling of sugar.
