Draniki (potato fritters), like many other dishes of Belarusian cuisine, are traditionally made from potatoes. A similar dish is offered by Ukrainian cuisine, but it is called somewhat differently - deruny.

Recipe Ingredients

Potatoes 6 pcs
Eggs 1 pcs
Wheat Flour 2 tbsp
Onion 1 pcs
Sour Cream 1 tbsp
Garlic 4 cloves
Soda 1 pinch

Cooking Recipe

The draniki recipe is very simple. Grate washed and peeled potatoes on a fine grater or pass through a meat grinder, as well as onions. Add beaten eggs, sour cream, soda, flour to potatoes and onions and mix thoroughly. Let the mass brew a little, about 5 minutes.

Take the prepared dough with a tablespoon and spread it on a preheated pan. Fry draniki on both sides in vegetable oil, covered with a lid. Serve hot with sour cream.
