How to prepare Czech potato pancakes?

As everyone probably correctly guesses, everything will revolve and unfold from potatoes. You must first scrape and wash thoroughly. Then grate them. Choose a thicker scraper. The work will be easier, and the dough tastes better, although everyone can of course choose a variant according to their taste. Thoroughly drain all the water from the grated potatoes. Then incorporate the other ingredients into the potato mixture. Add the eggs, marjoram, flour, milk and salt. All this as required.

Next, you will be frying potato pancakes. In hot fat or oil, fry the spread potato dough so that it is evenly fried. Try to avoid burnt edges. For this reason, do not make the edges too thin when spreading the mixture on the pan. Fry the potato pancakes on both sides until golden brown.

You recommend preparing one potato chip and tasting it. Fried dough can taste a little different than raw, so it sometimes requires the addition of some ingredients. When the potato pancake is good, finish frying the remaining batter. Ideally, serve the potato pancakes still warm. Of course, you can add other ingredients for variety. A typical example is smoked.
