Waldviertler Stuffed Potato Pancakes with Minced Meat | Crispy outside & juicy inside

Finely chop the yellow onion and garlic. In a small pan, heat 1 tbsp of clarified butter and sauté the onion until translucent, adding the garlic toward the end to sauté briefly. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool.

Place the minced meat in a bowl. Thoroughly knead together with the cooled onion-garlic mixture, rubbed marjoram, chopped parsley, 1/2 tsp of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Shape the meat mixture into 8 flat, round patties.

Peel the floury potatoes and grate finely. Transfer the grated potato mixture into a clean tea towel and squeeze out the liquid firmly. Collect the settled starch from the bottom of the bowl and fold it back into the mixture.
