Bramboráky

Bramboráky are savory potato pancakes, considered to be one of the most famous Czech dishes. They consist of grated potatoes mixed with eggs, finely grated garlic, and traditional spices such as marjoram and pepper. The mixture is pan-fried until crispy, and the shape usually depends on personal preferences. These potato clusters can be made in two ways—thin and crispy, or thick and chewy. Occasionally, pieces of fried bacon or sliced smoked meat can be added to the combination. Bramboráky are usually served plain, with mustard or ketchup served on the side. It is recommended to serve them piping hot, as fresh as possible.
