  • 2 eggs
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Frying oil

Method

1) Preparing the potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly and boil them in salted water for approximately 15 minutes until they are semi-soft. After cooking, drain the potatoes, let them cool and peel them. Grate them on a coarse grater.

2) Preparation of the mixture: Add grated cheese, eggs, crushed garlic, salt and pepper to the bowl with the grated potatoes. Mix everything thoroughly to create a homogeneous mixture.
