Family recipe

Mix the grated potatoes with the salt, marjoram, flour, egg, and crushed garlic. Let it sit for a while so the salt dissolves and the marjoram can soften a little. Mix again and heat a pan with about 1 cm of oil. To test, add a tablespoon of the pulp to the hot oil. Be careful, it will splatter. If you’re missing some salt or garlic, you can add more seasoning. Then fry the batter into potato pancakes. In Bohemia (now in Austria), we don’t eat them as a side dish. In Germany, however, I’ve seen them served with apple sauce or jam. In that case, however, you should omit the garlic. You could also grate in some cheese.
