Ingredients for the potato-pancakes (sorry i don´t know how much i have used from each ingredient. but don´t worry. It´s definitely easy to prepare. 

• peeled potatoes

• margarine or oil
• maybe you can use an egg-replacer

1. Grate potatoes and onions in a food processor
2. Put the mass into a sieve and let the water drain into a bowl. Pat it with paper towels. If you wait a minute, the potato starch settles to the bottom of the bowl. pour off the water and add the starch to the potato-mass
3. Add some flour to get a thick mass.
4. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
5. In a large non stick pan, heat margarine or oil. Drop about a 1,5 tablespoons into the pan and flatten it. Saute until golden brown.
