פּרעגלען

Most likely inherited from Middle High German breglen, of onomatopoeic origin. Compare regional German brägeln (“to fry, braise”), Brägele (“fried potatoes”), dialectally also with p-, pf-, f-. Compare also פּוטער (puter) for the word-initial /b/ → /p/ shift. Possibly of Slavic origin - compare Polish prażyć (“to roast”) - however this is less likely.
