Bramboráky (Czech potato pancakes)

1. 1

   Peel and finely grate the potatoes, put them in a colander and press firmly to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

3. 3

   Heat a shallow layer of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.

4. 4

   Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and flatten them slightly with a spatula to form thin pancakes.

5. 5

   Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely golden and crisp at the edges.

6. 6

   Drain on paper towel and serve hot at once, plain or with sour cream and garlic.
