Preparation
  1. Prepare the Potatoes and Carrot: Peel and wash the potatoes and carrot.
  2. Place them in a pot of cold water.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of vinegar to the water. This helps to keep the potatoes from becoming too soft.
  4. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes and carrot for about 20 minutes or until they are tender. If the carrot is tougher, it might need a bit more time.
  5. Prepare the Onion: While the potatoes and carrot are boiling, peel and finely chop the onion.
  6. Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
  7. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown. Let it cool down.
  8. Mash the Potatoes and Carrot: Once the potatoes and carrot are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly.
  9. Use a meat grinder or blender to grind the potatoes and carrot into a smooth mixture.
  10. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes and carrot with the sautéed onion.
  11. Add 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of salt, nutmeg, marjoram, and black pepper to the mixture. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
  12. Add breadcrumbs made from white bread to the mixture. The dough should have a firm consistency that can be easily shaped.
  13. Shape the Cutlets: Dip a spoon in vegetable oil and use it to scoop a portion of the potato mixture.
  14. Rub your hands with a little vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  15. Shape the mixture into small cutlets or patties.
  16. Roll each cutlet in flour to coat them lightly.
  17. Fry the Cutlets: Heat sunflower oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  18. Place the cutlets in the heated oil and fry them until they are golden brown on both sides. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  19. Serve: Remove the cutlets from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  20. Serve hot and enjoy these delicious potato and carrot cutlets!
