  • Onion1 medium chopped
  • Garlic2 cloves minced
  • Egg4 large
  • All purpose flour4 tablespoons
  • Marjoram1 teaspoon
  • SaltTo taste

Preparation Steps

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.
