Ingredients
- 1 pound potatoes about 5 pieces
- 1 medium egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon salt
For frying:
- 2 Tablespoons pork lard (or canola/sunflower oil)
Instructions
- Cook the potatoes with the skin on in advance and let them cool completely. This will take 2-3 hours, so be sure to plan ahead.
- Peel the cooled potatoes and finely grate them. Add the eggs, salt, and flour, and mix well.
- Knead the mixture into a smooth dough with your hands. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, but be careful not to add too much.
- Cut the dough into roughly equal-sized pieces. Lightly press each piece of dough with the cut sides into the flour. Roll each piece into an oval pancake about 5 inches (12-15 cm) long and ¼ inch (0.5 cm) thick.
- Cook the pancakes in a frying pan with a small amount of heated lard until they are golden brown on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Notes
- SERVING:
- SERVING: Bramborové placky are best when still warm. Serve just like that or with a cup of white coffee. I sometimes spread fresh cheese on my kids' placky.
- In Moravia, the eastern part of the Czech Republic, these potato pancakes are served as a side dish with roasted duck or goose.
- Do not let the finished dough sit for long; it will thin out over time.
- Work just enough flour into the dough so that it does not stick. The more flour, the stiffer the pancakes will be.
- The fried Placky pancakes will gradually harden since they do not contain fat. Keep this in mind and enjoy the placky right from the pan while they are still delightfully soft.
