Steps:

• Peel the potato and shred it into long strands onto a clean tea towel. Roll up the potatoes in the towel and twist over the sink to extract as much liquid as possible. Place the potatoes in a bowl. Add the garlic, pepper and salt and toss with a fork until mixed. Sprinkle with the flour and toss again.

Fry until crisp and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels and keep warm while frying the remaining pancakes.
