Prepare the Potatoes and Carrot:
Peel and wash the potatoes and carrot. Place them in a pot of cold water, adding vinegar to help maintain the potato texture. Bring to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes until tender.
Prepare the Onion:
While boiling, peel and finely chop the onion. Sauté in a small amount of vegetable oil over medium heat until golden brown, then let it cool.
Mash the Potatoes and Carrot:
Once cooked, drain the potatoes and carrot and let them cool slightly. Use a meat grinder or blender to mash them into a smooth mixture.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes and carrot with the sautéed onion. Add the egg, salt, nutmeg, marjoram, and black pepper. Mix well and incorporate breadcrumbs until the mixture is firm enough to shape.
Shape the Cutlets:
Use a spoon dipped in vegetable oil to scoop a portion of the mixture. Rub your hands with oil to prevent sticking and shape the mixture into small cutlets or patties. Roll each cutlet in flour to coat lightly.
Fry the Cutlets:
Heat sunflower oil in a large pan over medium heat. Fry the cutlets until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Serve:
Remove cutlets from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve hot and enjoy!
