I dissagree about it needing potatoes. I've never used them. I just found a website on the Internet with info on Fastnachts and it says that there are as many different ways to make them as there are cooks. It had 7 recipes half had potatoes and half didn't so I'd say it's personal preference definately not a MUST. http://www.berksweb.com/pam/fast.html
