Czech twist on classic potato pancakes: A crispy, savory delight

If you are bored with regular potato pancakes, check out this article. We will show you how to prepare a simple Czech dish. Potato pancakes are a real masterpiece in the Czech Republic!

In addition to eggs, flour (this time potato flour), spices, and potatoes, they add a bit of smoked bacon and milk in the Czech Republic. These ingredients make our vegetable pancakes reach a whole new dimension: they are incredibly crispy, slightly saltier, and more prosperous than those we usually eat. They undoubtedly taste best in a savoury form, so instead of adding a sour cream dollop on top, choose a sauce. Maybe chanterelle sauce? After all, the season for these tasty mushrooms will soon start. In any case, we leave this decision to you!

Ingredients:

              
• 1 kg of potatoes,
• 2 eggs,
• 200 g of smoked bacon,
• 150 g of potato flour,
• 120 ml of milk,
• 1 tablespoon of marjoram,
• 4 cloves of garlic,
• salt, pepper.

Preparation method:

1. Peel, wash and grate the potatoes using the small holes of a grater.
2. Add finely chopped bacon, garlic cloves pressed through a garlic press, potato flour, and milk to the vegetables. Crack the eggs and season the mixture with marjoram, salt, and pepper. Mix everything very thoroughly.
3. Using a spoon, place small amounts of the prepared mixture into hot oil. Fry the potato pancakes on both sides until golden brown. Drain the excess oil, and they are ready. Enjoy!
