How to make Bramboráky

Peel the potatos and grate them finely. Let them rest in a bowl and after 5 minutes squeeze out all the water they release.

Mix in all the ingredients except for the lard.

Heat up the lard in a large pan and form small pancakes in the heated lard. Fry them over medium heat. That is because you want them crispy but they also need some time to fry all the way through and if you fry them too fast the batter will still be raw on the inside.

Flip them when they’re golden and fry also from the other side.

If you eat them why they’re still warm, they will be crispy. Once they cool down and rest a few hours, they will loose their crispiness but they will still be delicious.
