Bramboracky (Czech Savory Potato Pancakes) image

Bramboracky (bram-bor-atch-key) are traditional pan-fried potato pancakes best accompanied by beer. This is a recipe that my Czech boyfriend and I have fun with often. Potato pancakes are commonly associated with traditional Czech, Ukrainian, Yiddish, German, Hungarian and Polish cuisines, although other cuisines (including those of India and Korea) also have similar potato pancakes.

Time 1h

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large potatoes
3 cloves garlic, crushed
salt and black pepper to taste
1 pinch dried marjoram
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
2 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
oil for frying

Steps:

  • Peel and coarsely grate the potatoes, squeezing out as much liquid as you can. Transfer the shredded potatoes to a mixing bowl. Stir in the crushed garlic, salt, pepper, marjoram, and caraway seeds.
  • Beat the eggs with the milk. Add the egg mixture to the potatoes and stir well to combine. Gradually mix in the flour to form a thick but still pourable batter.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; the oil should be about 1/4-inch deep. Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter into the hot oil, flattening it slightly. Fry the pancake until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Taste the first pancake and adjust the seasoning if necessary; repeat with remaining batter.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it always turns out perfectly. The pancakes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the flavor is amazing. I highly recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pancakes didn't turn out at all. They were more like a mushy mess. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my bramboracky turned out really dry and crumbly. They were not at all what I expected.

These were a waste of time. They were so bland and tasteless. I won't be making these again.

Meh. I wasn't really impressed with these. They were kind of bland and didn't have much flavor.

Not bad! I thought these were pretty good. They were a little more dense than I expected, but they had a great flavor.
