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.
