Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch dried marjoram
• salt and black pepper to taste
• oil for frying
• 4 large potatoes
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 teaspoons caraway seeds

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Peel and coarsely grate potatoes; squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Transfer shredded potatoes to a mixing bowl; stir in garlic, caraway seeds, marjoram, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Beat eggs and milk together; stir into potato mixture until well combined. Gradually stir in flour until a thick but still pourable batter if formed.

Step 3

Heat about 1/4-inch oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drop 1/4 cupful batter into skillet, flattening it slightly; fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Taste pancake; adjust seasoning if necessary. Repeat with remaining batter.
