Steps

Preparation

Peel the potatoes and onion, then grate them coarsely. Thoroughly squeeze out any excess water from the grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel. Peel and crush the garlic.

Mixing

In a large bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes, grated onion, crushed garlic, flour, egg, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

Frying

Heat 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Spoon small portions of the mixture into the hot oil and flatten them into pancake shapes. Fry both sides until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per side. Add more oil to the pan if needed.

Serving

Place the finished potato pancakes on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while hot, with sour cream, garlic sauce, or fresh vegetables.

Extra Tips

► For perfect crispiness, thoroughly squeeze out any excess water from the grated potatoes.

► Don't overcrowd the pan; fry the pancakes in smaller batches to ensure even browning.

► Serve fresh and hot with sour cream, garlic sauce, or a fresh salad.
