Instructions

Step 1: 1. Prepare the Potatoes

Step 2: 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.

Step 3: 2. Mix the Ingredients

Step 4: 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.

Step 5: 3. Heat the Oil

Step 6: In a large frying pan, heat a generous amount of oil over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.

Step 7: 4. Fry the Pancakes

Step 8: 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.

Step 9: 5. Drain & Serve

Step 10: 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.
