About Czech Potato Salad
Petra Kupská’s bramborový salát is a Czech family potato salad associated with Christmas and other festive meals. Diced boiled potatoes and eggs combine with carrots, onion, peas and homemade dill pickles.
Mayonnaise, yellow mustard and pickle brine make the dressing creamy and tangy. The homemade pickles bring their own vinegar, dill, allspice and peppercorn seasoning to the salad.
The salad rests in the refrigerator before serving and receives a parsley garnish. It is traditionally paired with fried carp, with the cool, creamy vegetables contrasting with the fish.
