Bramboraky

Tim Doody Bramboraky

Bramboraky is a delicious side dish or a greasy street snack. Either way, Czech potato pancakes are a staple for the people of Prague. They are made from grated raw potatoes, seasonings, eggs, and flour. Mix the above together and then fry it up. One can enjoy a bramboraky plain or with meat or sauerkraut. One interesting fact regarding potatoes in Europe is that when first introduced to the population, they were extremely expensive and considered a treat. After some time though, they became a common faire eaten by the poor masses. According to locals, you can find bramboraky on street corners, in restaurants and in taverns. Since Czech’s enjoy a good beer, they also enjoy good snacks. Bramboraky fits the bill. Pair up a cold beer with a good bramboraky and you can’t go wrong.
