Ingredients
- Potatoes — 1 kg
- Onion — 1 medium chopped
- Garlic — 2 cloves minced
- Egg — 4 large
- All purpose flour — 4 tablespoons
- Marjoram — 1 teaspoon
- Salt — To taste
- Black Pepper — To taste
- Oil — For frying
Instructions
1. Prepare the Potatoes
Start by peeling and finely grating the potatoes. To ensure extra crispiness, use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
2. Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, flour, marjoram, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until the mixture forms a thick, consistent batter.
3. Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat a generous amount of oil over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
4. Fry the Pancakes
Spoon portions of the batter into the pan, flattening each into a thin pancake. Fry until golden brown and crispy on one side, then flip and cook the other side until equally golden and crispy.
5. Drain & Serve
Transfer the cooked pancakes onto a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve immediately while hot, with sour cream, garlic dip, or as a side dish.
