These Ultimate Crispy Garlic Zemiakové Placky are a beloved Slovak comfort food featuring grated potatoes, aromatic marjoram, and a bold punch of garlic. This variation focuses on achieving the perfect golden crunch on the outside while keeping the inside tender and savory, making them an ideal snack or side dish.
Peel the potatoes and finely grate them into a large mixing bowl.
Pour off any excessive liquid that accumulates from the grated potatoes, but try to retain the white starch at the bottom.
Add the eggs, flour, crushed garlic, dried marjoram, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix everything thoroughly until a cohesive, slightly sticky batter forms.
Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Spoon the batter into the hot oil, using the back of the spoon to flatten each mound into a thin pancake.
Fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the pancakes are deep golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels before serving hot.
