Potato Pancakes (Draniki)
Cultural Context
Originating in Belarus, Draniki are a beloved comfort food made from grated potatoes, often enjoyed for breakfast or as a side dish.

Today, variations can be found across Eastern Europe, with each country adding its unique twist, making them a popular dish worldwide.
potatoes
🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes
💰Cheaper: frozen hash browns
Sweet potatoes add nutrients and flavor.
sour cream
🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt
💰Cheaper: plain yogurt
Greek yogurt offers similar creaminess with fewer calories.
flour
🥗Healthier: almond flour
💰Cheaper: cornstarch
Almond flour is gluten-free and adds a nutty flavor.
eggs
🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal
💰Cheaper: aquafaba
Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative that binds well.
Grate the potatoes using a grater. To prevent oxidation, add grated onion and mix well.
Salt the potatoes and let them sit for 5-7 minutes.
Drain the potatoes through a sieve over a bowl to release the juice.
Discard the liquid from the potatoes, collect the starch settled at the bottom, and add it to the mixture. Mix well.
Add egg, salt, and pepper to the potato mixture and mix thoroughly.
Add flour and mix until well combined.
Heat a skillet and scoop the potato mixture onto it using a spoon to form pancakes. Do not make them too thick.
Fry over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
Reduce the heat and let the pancakes cook through on low heat.
