Potato pancakes in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make potato pancakes in the oven? Prepare the products. Choose medium-sized potatoes, I have 3 pieces, because I cooked half a serving. If desired, you can add onion and garlic to the draniki, we love draniki without them.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash potatoes well under running water, then peel. Grate it immediately into a bowl in which you will knead the dough, so there will be less dirty dishes. Which grater to rub it on is a matter of taste. Real Belarusian draniki are rubbed on the smallest grater, but modern recipes allow for a large "grating". I chose a medium size.

3. Step 3:

   

   Now squeeze the resulting potato mass with your hands properly to get rid of excess liquid — it will interfere with the browning of the pancakes. Here, after all, I advise you to take a colander, and not save on dishes. It will be much more convenient. Drain the squeezed liquid. There should be some fairly dry potato chips left.

4. Step 4:

   

   Beat the eggs into it, add salt and pepper to taste. Add flour. To make the pancakes more crispy, you can replace some of the flour with potato starch.

5. Step 5:

   

   Mix the potato mass thoroughly.

7. Step 6:

   

   Take a baking sheet of a suitable size. You can either cover the baking sheet with parchment, or leave it as it is. With paper, draniki will be fried with even less oil. I did with her. Lubricate the paper with a small amount of odorless vegetable oil. If you have a bare baking sheet, then take more oil and lubricate it too. It is convenient to do this with a culinary brush. Put the draniki on paper in the form of cakes. I got 9 pieces out of half a serving.

8. Step 7:

   

   My draniki turned out to be a little too large, it was possible to make them smaller and thicker. Put a baking sheet with pancakes in the oven, preheated to 190 ° C (I have an electric, top-bottom mode), for about 30 minutes. The draniki should be browned from the bottom. They didn't want to blush for a long time, I turned up the temperature to 200 ° C. When this happens, take out the baking sheet and turn the draniki with a spatula to the other side. Focus on your oven.

9. Step 8:

   

   Return the baking sheet to the oven and hold the draniki there for another 15 minutes. Remove the hot draniki on a plate and serve immediately.
