Karbenátky: Czech “Burger” served with Mashed Potatoes

Our popular virtual cooking classes are back!

Burgers are extremely popular in the USA and this class will be about a traditional Czech burger called “karbenátek.” No, Czechs didn’t copy the American idea, but instead invented their own delicious and very flavorful version of a burger patty. Karbenátky usually consists of delicious beef and pork, and a bunch of other ingredients and seasoning. Instead of serving in a bun, this burger variation is served with supper creamy mashed potatoes!

Note: Not suitable for vegetarians.
