Nice! I make my mothers’ traditional recipe with kielbasa , dill pickles instead of sweet,
squeeze in half a lemon, peas, finely diced onion, salt pepper, all into the mayo mix.
After the potatoes, roll in the cut hard boiled eggs (so to not crush them).
Garnish with tomato wedges and parsley. Beautiful !

Hi Everybody,
The above sequence landed in my mailbox a couple of days ago. Please accept my sincere condolences, those of you who are Czech nationals. One of the *brambor* recipes that my household used for Christmas. along with regular boiled ones, you probably won’t believe. They’re caramellised poms, as small and round as they come, to go with duck (no karp with speck for Xmas in the north!), filled to the brim with, in my case, prunes, apricots, and pine nuts.
The play that I mentioned before is being rewritten – I began the rewrite during a retreat in Tonndorf just south of Erfurt. In the meantime my collection of articles (in Danish), *Golem and His Friends* has come out. ‘Golem’ is a rewrite of ‘Joseph the Golem: The Limits of Synthetic Humanity’ from 1987.
Happy New Year, Tanja in particular, and may 2012 hold many more fine potato dishes in store for you!

Ha! I new it – even the American says that the Czech potato salad is the best! That is yet just another little Bohemian step to the world domination …;)

I have a czech friend that made the best potato salad. He said it was a family secret and would not reveil the recipe. There are many variations. I made my own concoction out of the many recipes i found on line. Thank you to all that contributed to my variation of czeck potato salad. it is so delicious. There is no comparison to american or german salad. Czeck is the best.

Hi Sher,

I am so glad you liked it! By using a little more saltier sauce (soy sauce) than the “w’ sauce (I am not even attempt to spell the name) you actually proved to have Czech traits since the Czechs like A LOT of salt on their dishes

Hi Tanja,
I used your recipe for our potato salad for Christmas Eve! This is an excellent recipe. I must tell you what I did, though. Rather than using Worcestershire sauce, I accidently grabbed the bottle of soy sauce instead! The bottles resemble one another! The taste was good, but a little more salty than it should have been!

Thanks for sharing this recipe–it was a great addition to our Christmas Eve dinner this year!

Have a great day,
Sher

Hi Ellen,

Wow, how intriguing – play about Prague! Is it going to be a WWII play or a contemporary piece?
As far a the word ‘potato’ goes here is the Czech translation of it:
brambora = 1 potato (singular)
brambory = potatoes (plural)
bramborach = that is just a different declination version of the word ‘brambory’; we – unfortunately – have 7 different declinations of each noun.
