Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 40 min

Step 1:
To prepare draniki, take the required amount of potatoes. Peel it and rinse it well from dirt in running water. Also peel the onion from the husk.
Step 2:
Grate peeled potatoes and onions on a grater. For a more uniform consistency, use a fine grater. I, on the other hand, use a large one. It's a matter of taste.
Step 3:
Add egg, flour, salt and spices to grated vegetables. As spices, I recommend using a little ground black pepper and dry dill or parsley.
Step 4:
Mix the whole mass very well so that there is a homogeneous mass.
Step 5:
Preheat a suitable frying pan to a hot state. Pour a little vegetable oil on it. Then, using a spoon, spread a little potato mass into the pan. Also, with a spoon, form oval pancakes.
Step 6:
Fry the draniki on both sides, over medium heat, until an appetizing, golden color appears. Do not rush to make a strong fire. It is necessary to let the draniki fry properly. Serve ready-made draniki hot, adding sour cream to the dish. Enjoy your meal!

Simple, classic potato pancakes are prepared very simply and quickly with a minimal set of products. But if desired, you can add various other ingredients to them, for example, cheese, mushrooms, lard, fresh herbs. And in each case it will turn out very tasty and satisfying.
For a brighter taste and aroma, you can add a little crushed garlic to them. Or, in addition to ready-made pancakes, prepare garlic sauce.
Such a potato dish can easily diversify your daily diet. It can be cooked for lunch, for dinner, or just as a hearty snack.
Cook the draniki so that you can eat them hot at once. When they lie down, not everyone can like the taste of draniki. I only like them fresh and hot.
Cook them with pleasure!
