Slovak potato pancakes, grated potato and garlic fried crisp.
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Plain flour 4 tbsp
- Garlic 2 clove
- Onion 1 medium
- Potatoes 1 kg
- Eggs 4 large
- Dried marjoram 1 tsp
Method
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
