Greetings dear readers. Today we’ll look at how to cook potato pancakes, a simple recipe, or rather several recipes. Potatoes are a unique product. You can use it to prepare many different dishes, whatever cooks do: fry, steam, boil, bake, and so on.

Potato pancakes cook quickly enough and you can easily prepare an appetizing and satisfying dinner. I don’t recommend this dish in the morning, as it turns out to be quite greasy and heavy on the stomach.

You can grate potatoes either on a fine or coarse grater. I made the recipes described below using a coarse grater. You can also grate it using a food processor or grind it in a meat grinder.

1. To remove excess fat from the pancakes in which they were fried, you can dip each pancake in a paper towel. So, by the way, you can get a crispier dish.
2. To prevent the potato pancakes from burning and have a beautiful golden color, the bottom of the frying pan needs to be filled with about 3 millimeters of oil.
3. Finely grated onion will not only add flavor to the dish, but will also prevent the potatoes from darkening.
4. Cooled potato pancakes can be easily reheated in the microwave or oven and they will become appetizing again.
5. To ensure that the potato pancakes are thoroughly fried, you can cover the pan with a lid.
6. It is better to fry the dish over high heat.
7. Usually this dish is hearty and is served without bread, but with sour cream.

Draniki are a dish of Belarusian cuisine, which are pancakes made from grated raw potatoes. However, in other cuisines of the world there is a similar dish, only under different names: in Ukraine, pancakes are called pancakes, in the Czech Republic - bramborak, in Poland - plyatska. For this reason, there are also many recipes for making potato pancakes. We will tell our readers how to make the right potato pancakes and give the best recipes, illustrated with photos.

How to make potato pancakes correctly

At first glance, the technology for preparing potato pancakes is simple. This is true: even an inexperienced housewife can make them, but only if she knows a few important secrets. Otherwise, she may have many questions during the cooking process. To ensure that the result meets your expectations, we will share the secrets of making potato pancakes.

• Draniki are made only from raw potatoes. It is better to give preference to Belarusian varieties, which contain a lot of starch. However, such varieties can also be found in Russia. If you think there is not enough starch in potatoes, you can buy it and add a little. Literally half a teaspoon.
• To prepare classic Belarusian potato pancakes, potatoes are crushed by grating on a fine grater with holes with sharp edges. You could say they grate potatoes - hence the name of the dish. Modern kitchen appliances make this process easier by using a food processor. Many housewives grate potatoes on a coarse grater, and as a result, the pancakes, as can be seen in some of the photos below, also turn out appetizing. But still, if you want to cook real potato pancakes, like in Belarus, you need to use a fine grater.
• It may turn out that the grated potato mixture is too liquid. In this case, it must be squeezed out.
• Some housewives try to thicken the potato mass by adding flour to it. This is the wrong choice because it results in hard pancakes. If you want to get tender potato pancakes, you can thicken the “dough” only with starch.
• To prevent the pancakes from darkening, add chopped onion to the potato mixture.
• To add piquancy, many housewives add garlic to potato pancakes, but very little is needed - one clove per kilogram of potatoes. The garlic is crushed with a press and mixed with the vegetable mass.
• To give the potato pancakes an appetizing golden color, fry them in a hot frying pan in a large amount of oil (its layer should be approximately 3 mm).
• To speed up the process, you can cover the pan with a lid. Many experienced housewives fry pancakes in two frying pans at once.
• After frying, it is advisable to place the potato pancakes on paper napkins to drain excess oil, and only then transfer them to a plate. This way they will be less caloric, and they will be more pleasant to eat.
• Draniki are most often served with sour cream, but you can use any other sauce, including lean sauce.
• The pancakes are eaten hot; if you have prepared too many of them, you can heat the pancakes in the microwave or oven before serving the cooled portion.
• You can prepare potato pancakes either from potatoes alone or with the addition of other products: apples, mushrooms, meat. In Belarusian cuisine there is an unusual recipe for pancakes with meat; such pancakes are called sorcerers. Below we present their recipe, accompanied by a photo.

Most potato pancake recipes involve the use of eggs, but there is a recipe without them. We will also tell our readers how to prepare lean potato pancakes without eggs in this material.

Potato pancakes (potato pancakes, potato pancakes) are a very common food that came to us from Belarusian cuisine, but gradually the boundaries of the use of this dish expanded. Now these pancakes are popular not only in Belarus, but also in Ukraine, Russia, and Europe.

The manufacturing principle is always the same: grated or chopped potatoes with the addition of various ingredients are fried in a frying pan. The ingredients can be varied - cheese, mushrooms, minced meat, zucchini - whatever you like, which will be the highlight of your homemade pancakes! After all, there are a great many recipes for delicacies, but they all have a great taste and a very low cost of food.

The dish is perfect for breakfast or lunch, since the potato delicacy combines high satiety and ease of preparation. Using potato pancakes as a side dish is not the best solution, since they are usually prepared using a lot of oil, but for those who are concerned about the calorie content of the dish, there is a great opportunity to reduce its calorie content by cooking them in the oven, although, in my opinion, they are significantly inferior to those prepared according to the classic recipe in a frying pan.

You can supplement their nutritional value with any vegetable salad. The main component for cooking is potatoes, and the ideal potato varieties are rich in starch, so pancakes from young potatoes do not always turn out well. Real potato pancakes are covered with an appetizing crispy crust, and inside they are juicy and tender, especially if you eat them immediately after cooking. If you are a big fan of baking, I recommend making or.
