🧂 Υλικά
- 500 g Starchy potatoes(e.g., Yukon Gold or Russet, about 4-5 medium)
- 80 g All-purpose flour(or ½ cup)
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 cloves Garlic(peeled and minced)

👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Peel and coarsely grate the potatoes into a large bowl. Transfer the grated potatoes to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial for crispy pancakes.
- 2
Return the squeezed potatoes to the bowl. Add the flour, beaten eggs, minced garlic, salt, marjoram, caraway seeds, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
- 3
Heat about ¼ inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil is ready when a small piece of batter sizzles immediately.
- 4
Using a ¼ cup measure, scoop the batter and drop it into the hot oil. Flatten the patties slightly with the back of a spoon or spatula to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- 5
Fry for about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Drain the bramboráky on a paper towel-lined plate.
- 6
Serve hot. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche.
