Draniki

Let me give you a recipe which I received from my Belarussian friend, Alexandra ! :)
It's for draniki, kind of pancakes:

Ingredients (for two servings):

• 5 large potatoes
• 1 egg
• 1 medium onion
• black pepper- 0,5 tea spoon
• salt to taste
• sunflower oil 7-8 table spoons

We need a grater to grate the potatoes and onions. Be sure that you use appropriate side of grater, so you don't grate potatoes into strips, but rather into liquid mass. That's what makes Draniki unique.

Crate the potatoes and onions into a bowl.

Add salt, pepper, eggs and mix together. The substance should be liquid, and shouldn't be too thick,

 drain excess potato juice or add some flour  to achieve required "level of liquidity" (sic!).

Heat the frying pan pour 1 table spoon of sunflower oil into it.

Dump a full table spoon of mixture from the bowl onto the frying pan and form a small about quarter inch thick pancake. Cook on high for 2-3 minutes and then flip over,

Cook another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Serve hot with sour cream .

Enjoy! :D
