Method · 1 h
- Rinse the pork leg, pat dry and cut into strips. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder and mix with a little oil. Place the meat in the refrigerator.
- Peel, rinse and finely chop the onion. Wash the pepper, remove the seeds and cut into strips. Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Set the vegetables aside for later.
- Wash, peel, finely grate and squeeze the potatoes thoroughly. Peel, rinse and press the garlic.
- Add the eggs, milk, plain flour, crushed garlic, marjoram, salt and pepper to the grated potatoes. Mix everything together.
- Thicken the batter with breadcrumbs as needed to achieve a suitable consistency for frying.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan. Form small potato pancakes from the dough and fry them until golden brown on both sides. Let the finished potato pancakes drain on paper towels.
- If we want to keep the potato pancakes warm, we leave them in the oven on a baking sheet at a temperature of 50 °C.
- Heat a little oil in a frying pan. Add the prepared meat and fry it vigorously, stirring constantly.
- Add the onion to the meat and fry briefly. Add the chopped pepper and fry briefly.
