Draniki

Ingredients

• 700 g potatoes
• 1 onion
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp flour
• Sour cream
• Dill

How to make it

1. Grate potatoes and onion, then squeeze lightly. Prepare this first and keep the heat moderate; rushing the first stage usually gives uneven texture later.
2. Mix with egg, flour, salt and pepper. Work in a bowl for 2-3 minutes until the mixture looks even, then let it rest for 10-20 minutes so the flour, meat or spices hydrate properly.
3. Fry spoonfuls until crisp on both sides. Use medium-high heat to get color, then lower to medium so the inside cooks through without burning. Turn only when the first side has a firm golden crust.
4. Serve hot with sour cream and dill. Taste once more before serving. Add salt, acid, herbs or a spoon of sauce at the end while the dish is still hot.
