Potato Pancakes with Quark

At least 4 hours in advance, boil the potatoes in their skins: Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with enough water, salt, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes for 30–35 minutes. After this time, check if the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork – if not, cook them a little longer (the total cooking time depends on the size of the potatoes). Drain the cooked potatoes and let them cool thoroughly.

Then preheat the oven to 190–195 °C, prepare a baking sheet (25 cm × 30 cm) and line it with baking paper. Also prepare a large bowl.

Peel the cooled potatoes and finely grate them into the prepared bowl. To the grated potatoes, add marjoram, quark, rapeseed oil, egg, corn breadcrumbs, baking soda, salt, and pepper, then mix. From the resulting dough, form patties weighing 50–55 g on the lined baking sheet. Once all the dough is processed, place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes at 190–195 °C. Flip the patties halfway through baking.
