Step 3:
Combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, flour, marjoram, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl.

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

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

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

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