Bramboracky (bram-bor-atch-key) are pan-fried Czech savory potato pancakes. They're best accompanied by beer. My Czech boyfriend and I often have fun with this recipe. Potato pancakes are commonly associated with Czech, Ukrainian, Yiddish, German, Hungarian, and Polish cuisines, although other cuisines (including those of India and Korea) also have similar potato pancakes.

  • 4 large potatoes
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced
  • 2 teaspoons caraway seeds , Optional

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel and coarsely grate potatoes; squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Transfer shredded potatoes to a bowl; stir in garlic, caraway seeds, marjoram, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Beat eggs and milk together; stir into potato mixture until well combined. Gradually stir in flour until a thick but still pourable batter forms.
