Draniki should be served hot, with sour cream!
One of the most delicious potato dishes can be called draniki. To prepare them, you will need the following ingredients: two eggs, one kilogram of potatoes, one clove of garlic, two tablespoons of flour, salt, pepper, and vegetable oil.
Raw potatoes should be thoroughly washed, peeled, and grated on a fine grater. Do the same with the onions, then mix the grated ingredients. This should be done immediately, otherwise the potatoes will darken. Then add flour, eggs, salt, pepper to the mixture and mix thoroughly.
Scoop the resulting mixture with a spoon and pour onto a hot frying pan with vegetable oil. When the bottom side is nicely browned, the draniki can be flipped. According to this recipe, the dish will be crispy.
But if you like draniki without a crust, then you need to cook them differently. Place the mixture, which will become potato pancakes, into a form greased with sour cream; also brush the raw draniki on top with sour cream. Bake them in the oven at a low temperature.
Remember that such a dish can only be served warm and only with sour cream. Some people like plain draniki, while others prefer this dish with a filling. Most often, mushrooms and fresh herbs are used for this. Instead of sour cream, a mushroom sauce is served with draniki, which does not take much time to prepare. Various ingredients can also be added to the dough for this treat, but the most common option here is undoubtedly garlic.
Draniki are usually served not only with sour cream or sauce, but also with vegetable salads. Various recipes for such salads can be found in any cookbook. But it is better to prepare this dish from your favorite vegetables.
Even homemade cottage cheese is used as a filling for draniki. This ingredient will not only give the dish a new taste, but also bring health benefits. Also, the filling for draniki can be made from pork or chicken meat; a cheaper option is to use ordinary store-bought minced meat. But it is better to prepare the treat from fresh products, not from semi-finished products.
