Peel the carrots and potatoes and grate into fine strips with the food processor or on the grater. Add the spices, stir and let stand for a while so that it draws water.
Gently squeeze out the mixture and pour off the liquid. Add the egg and flour and mix.
Heat a frying pan, if necessary add a little oil and butter for frying and heat. Add a tablespoon of the mixture to the pan and spread it flat. Depending on the pan size, around 2 - 3 potato pancakes fit in the pan. Fry the potato pancakes on both sides until golden brown and crispy over medium heat.
We like to eat the potato pancakes in a roll with a little sauce (ketchup, mayonnaise, salad dressing to taste), but also just taste with herb quark. The recipe can be exchanged or expanded variably for both vegetables and spices.
