Slovak Potato Pancakes

Ingredients

For 4 servings

Steps

  1. Step 1:

    Peel and finely grate the potatoes.

  2. Step 2:

    Squeeze as much moisture as possible from the grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel.

  3. Step 3:

    Combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, flour, marjoram, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl.

  4. Step 4:

    Stir well until the mixture forms a thick, consistent batter.

  5. Step 5:

    Heat a generous amount of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, until hot but not smoking.

  6. Step 6:

    Spoon portions of batter into the pan and flatten each portion into a thin pancake.

  7. Step 7:

    Fry until golden brown and crispy on one side, then flip and cook the other side until equally golden and crispy.

  8. Step 8:

    Transfer the cooked pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

  9. Step 9:

    Serve immediately while hot, with sour cream, garlic dip, or as a side dish.
