Bramboracky (Czech Savory Potato Pancakes)
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.
Chef John's Buttermilk Biscuits
This deceptively simple buttermilk biscuit recipe can come out a million different ways with some very minor variations on the ingredients and amounts. This one's my favorite — flaky, but not dry; chewy, but not tough; and crisp in just the right spots. Ice-cold butter and some extra dough folding are key to having lots of flaky layers in each golden brown buttermilk biscuit.
Norwegian Cabbage Rolls
Velkommen! My take on traditional Norwegian kålruletter. My girlfriend likes the way I make them. I use a little less potato starch and throw some caraway seeds and rice in the filling, leaving a more meaty texture and a bit more flavor, in my opinion. Serve with brunsaus (brown gravy), rice, and boiled potatoes. Agurksalat (cucumber salad) is a great accompaniment to this dish.
