Exactly. There are a lot of holidays this month. Reminds me though, any lizards got a good potato pancake recipe? I’d rather have them from scratch than processed.

Google returns this recipe which seems close to the ones my (Slovak side) family used to make.

Potato Pancakes - Zemiakove placky
2 pounds/1 kg whole potatoes.
1 egg.
4-5 cloves of garlic.
1/2 tsp pepper.
1 tsp majoram - optional.
1 cup/240 ml milk.
6 tbs flour.
3/4 tsp salt.
Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until you can just pierce them with a fork. Drain and let them cool for a minute or two.
Peel the potatoes and grate them on a fine grater.
Add egg, smashed garlic, pepper, salt, majoran, milk and the flour. Batter should be a thick liquid.
Preheat a crepe pan or a nonstick pan to medium low heat. Grease it and add about a ladle’s worth of batter. Fry 4 minutes on each side.
Enjoy.

Tip. I have always been told you want ‘old’ potatoes. Ones that are slightly getting soft. Hard new potatoes do not work so well.

I don’t make them, just going on what I remember from and uncle that was excellent at it.
