Ingredients

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

Directions

1 Peel and coarsely grate potatoes; squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Transfer shredded potatoes to a bowl; stir in garlic, caraway seeds, marjoram, salt, and black pepper.
2 Beat eggs and milk together; stir into potato mixture until well combined. Gradually stir in flour until a thick but still pourable batter forms.
3 Heat about ¼-inch oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drop ¼ cupful batter into skillet, flattening slightly; fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Taste pancake; adjust seasoning if necessary. Repeat with remaining batter.
