Question Do you know how I can make them without eggs or any dairy products?
Answer all i did was go to http://allrecipes.com/Search/MoreSearches.aspx, clicked on Ingredient Search, typed in I WANT "potato", I DON'T WANT "eggs or milk", one ingredient for each slot. and don't use the quotes. Here is what it came up with.
Click on Authentic Potato Pancake
or go to www.allrecipes.com and type in Authentic Potato Pancake. This uses olive oil instead of butter to oil the pan. There were other recipes using the method at the top, but some required the use of a diary product, like Cheese or Cream and butter. I know butter can be subsituted, but unless you know non-dairy heavy cream or swiis cheese, then that was the only one i found at that site.
