Re: I can't pronounce it...

Sorry, but /ž/ is more like the j in French "bon jour".

Shortened version is smažak, not smazak.

Skipping the tartar sauce makes for incomplete fried cheese - i.e. it's required.

Edam is the normal one; hermelin/camembert is more yuppie & strange, too soft (sometimes made with a slice of ham inside) and will really harsh a hangover, which of course is when you're likely to eat smaženy syr.

Probably mozzarella works in place of Edam, but goat cheese? yuck. Of course I wouldn't put tartar on goat cheese either.

Boiled potatoes are the norm (without skins, please), but street stands typically offer fries (hranolky, or basically "potatoes in shape of little geometrical prisms") and a tasteless bun to stuff the cheese in.
