Zemiakové placky (potato pancakes)

Preparation

1. 1

   Peel and finely grate the potatoes, then press them in a clean towel to remove as much water as possible: this is what makes the pancakes crisp.

2. 2

   Mix the grated potatoes with the egg, flour, crushed garlic, marjoram, salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan over medium-high heat.

4. 4

   Drop small mounds of batter, flattened with a spatula, into the hot oil, without overcrowding the pan.

5. 5

   Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the pancakes are golden and crisp at the edges.

6. 6

   Drain on paper towels.

7. 7

   Serve immediately, hot, with sour cream or apple compote.
