📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Bramboráky are Czech potato pancakes made by grating raw potatoes, combining them with garlic, egg, and flour, and frying them crisp in lard. Scenting them with marjoram is the Czech way, and they're known for using lots of garlic. They're eaten as a snack at stalls and at home, and also served alongside sauerkraut and meat dishes.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a winter Christmas market, people buy bramboráky sizzling with the scent of garlic on the griddle and enjoy them with mulled wine.
