How to cook potato pancakes

Grate potatoes and onions on a fine grater (with the smallest round holes). If you have an assistant (combine), then the task of making a lot of potato pancakes is greatly simplified.

First, grate the onion and put it in a bowl.

Secret one. Onion, oxidizing, does not allow the potatoes to darken. Therefore, firstly, the finished potato pancakes will turn golden, and, secondly, there is no need to rush, fearing that the potatoes will darken.

Second secret. Draniki is also called potato pancakes, hence the misconception that the consistency of potato pancakes should be similar to the consistency of pancake dough.

We will not be mistaken, therefore, we will remove all the liquid from the potatoes and other products that will be used.

To do this, throw the potatoes with onions into a colander, and when the liquid drains, squeeze it out - there should be only a “dry residue” at the exit. Add salt, pepper, egg and flour, mix thoroughly.

Fry in a preheated pan with vegetable oil, spreading potato pancakes with a tablespoon.

Don't make them too thick, smooth them with the back of a spoon.

Secret third. Fry over medium heat - the potatoes should be well fried inside.

The fourth secret: put pancakes on a paper napkin, which will take away excess oil, because they are best served with sour cream, and so much fat content is not very healthy, although tasty.

The fifth secret: if you want to get crispy potato pancakes, do not stack them, lay them out in one layer.

Serve pancakes immediately, while they are hot. With sour cream, in which be sure to cut the greens.

ADVICE. If you need to serve a large number of fried potato pancakes to the table, then turn on the oven (t 120-140), cover the baking sheet with parchment and put pancakes from the pan on it. When everything is overcooked, put the baking sheet in a warm oven until serving, but not too long so that the potato pancakes do not dry out.
