Tortillas without flour in a frying pan

Tortillas taste like draniki, but there is no flour in their composition. Here is such a quick, hearty and delicious breakfast or dinner can be prepared with only 3 ingredients. Draniki from grated potatoes probably tried everything. Someone for this purpose grates potatoes on a fine grater to a puree-like state, someone rubs on a large or medium grater. But flour is usually added to draniki. And they are quite small in size. Here it's the opposite. For the tortillas I offer, it is better to take a small diameter frying pan. This way the tortillas will be easier to turn over.

Now we can't imagine our table without potato dishes. It is not for nothing that we call it the second bread. However, this was not always the case.

According to the official version, potatoes were brought to Russia quite late, at the very beginning of the XVIII century. This was done by Peter I, who in Holland for the first time tried various potato dishes. Having approved the gastronomic and taste qualities of the product, he ordered the delivery of a bag of tubers to Russia for planting and cultivation.

However, in some sources you can read that it was not like that at all. Allegedly, we knew potatoes before that, it was just that they were not so widespread in our country.

We owe the emergence of such a concept as "potatoes are the second bread" to serious problems in grain cultivation in the middle of the 19th century. Bread was not born, and he needed to find some alternative. Potatoes were suggested as such an alternative. At the same time, the people did not like it. Armed confrontations began, which went down in our history as "potato riots". Now we are not even trying to remove potatoes from the podium. A lot of interesting and diverse dishes make potatoes the most frequently consumed vegetable in our lives.
