I’m looking for the correct spelling of the dish my wife has made since we’ve been married (almost 31 years). She is Dutch (maiden name Jongkind) and has always made a dish of boiled potatoes, carrots, and onions mashed together. She grew up eating this as a staple – especially on Fridays with a boiled egg since they were Catholic.

Her parents always called the dish “Prakee”. Enunciation is somethin like Rocky with a ‘P’ in the front.

Has anyone heard of this and know the correct dutch spelling?

Thanks

Ohhh, I like the sound of these foods together..I love potatoes, carrot, onions and cabbage and brussel sprouts.
I am doing a Family Tree recipe book for my daughter who is marrying a man from the Netherlands and I would like to know some of his mother and grandmother’s favorite recipes. I will email his mom but I wanted to see what was popular and I think I will include these items. Are there recipes for them or just cook them and mix them together. Thanks, Kim
