Ingredients

Other

raw potatoes (medium, yellow, e.g. Yukon gold)6 pieces
hot milk0.667 cups
all-purpose flour0.5 cups
egg1 pieces
pressed garlic5 cloves
dried marjoram1 tbsp
salt1 tsp
pork lard (for frying; or Canola/sunflower oil)1 pieces

Method

01

Peel 6 raw potatoes and shred them finely with a box grater.

02

Transfer the shredded potatoes to a colander and squeeze out excess water they have released.

03

Put the squeezed potatoes in a bowl and pour 2/3 cup hot milk over them. Add 1 egg, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 5 cloves pressed garlic, 1 Tablespoon dried marjoram, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir until combined. The potato batter should have a semi-fluid consistency.

04

Heat the fat in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat (about 2 tablespoons per pancake). Quickly stir the potato batter before frying, scoop up a ladleful, and carefully pour it into the center of the pan. Using the flat side of the spoon, spread the batter into a ¼ inch (5-6 mm) thick pancake about 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) in diameter.

05

Fry each potato pancake for about 2-3 minutes on both sides. Once the edges start to turn golden, flip the pancake with a flat spatula.

06

Arrange the finished Bramboráky pancakes on a plate. If you want to save calories and make the pancakes healthier, line them with paper towels to soak up excess fat.
