Silesian crispy potato pancakes served bandit-style: a stack of crisp potato pancakes topped with a goulash-style beef-and-vegetable stew, sour cream and a sprinkle of paprika. The Lower Silesian pub plate.
Placki ziemniaczane (grated-potato pancakes) are eaten across all of Poland, but the Lower Silesian variation served po zbóju (literally bandit-style, meaning loaded up with stew) is the regional Wroclaw signature. The dish emerged in late 19th-century Silesian inns as a way to combine the cheap potato pancake with a small portion of leftover goulash, stretching expensive meat across a peasant plate. The Lower Silesian variation usually uses Hungarian-influenced paprika-heavy beef gulasz rather than the wetter Polish bigos. The dish is a Karczma standard across Wroclaw, served at Karczma Lwowska and Dwór Polski; locals order it with a pint of dark Tyskie at midday.
