Greetings dear readers. We will analyze today how to cook potato pancakes potato recipe simple, or rather a few recipes. Potatoes are a unique product. You can cook many different dishes from it, which only the chefs do not do: fried, steamed, boiled, baked, and so on.

Potatoes are a unique product

First, let's try to answer the question: What is Draniki and why were they called that? And this word is taken from the word "to tear" (to rub on a grater). Therefore, they are also called "Deruny". It's that simple. The dish itself is potato pancakes or pancakes. Which is also understandable.

Potato pancakes are prepared quickly enough and you can easily prepare an appetizing and hearty dinner. In the morning, I do not recommend such a dish, as it turns out to be quite fatty, heavy on the stomach.

It is very difficult to turn them over, the grated potatoes are scattered. But without eggs and flour it turned out better. But this is my personal opinion. And I created more difficulties with cooking. They say that it is better to rub it with your hands on a fine grater. But this is everyone's business.

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

1. To remove excess fat from the potato pancakes, on which they were fried, you can dip each potato pancake in a paper towel. So, by the way, you can get a crisper dish.
2. So that the potato pancakes do not burn and have a beautiful golden color, the bottom of the pan should be filled with oil about 3 millimeters.
3. Finely grated onions will not only add flavor to the dish, but also prevent the potatoes from darkening.
4. The cooled potato pancakes can be safely heated in the microwave or oven and they will become delicious again.
5. To ensure that the pancakes are well 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 served without bread, but with sour cream.
