Deruny, or Potatoes that dreamed of becoming Pancakes

If you dive a little deeper into the culture, history and geographical location of any people, you can feel their wisdom and centuries-old experience, even when flipping through the pages of a cookbook.

Traditional Ukrainian dishes are simple and nutritious. They give energy for the whole working day. Deruny (potato pancakes) are a tasty and filling dish. The main ingredient is grated potatoes, which gave the dish its name. Call the children, invite friends, because in 15-20 minutes you will have a real delicacy on your table!

Ingredients:
700g potatoes
1 medium onion
2 or 3 tbsp wheat flour
1 medium egg
Salt
black pepper
vegetable oil for frying.

  1. Grate potatoes and the onion. Remove excess liquid.
  2. Add the egg.
  3. Add the flour and mix thoroughly.
  4. Pour vegetable oil for frying in the pan. It is important that the pan is hot and that the deruny do not absorb excess oil during frying.
  5. Add salt, pepper, your favourite spices or dried garlic to the mixture.
  6. Put the mixture in a hot pan with a spoon and fry on both sides.
We spread the finished deruny on a paper towel to remove excess fat. Serve with sour cream or mushroom sauce, fried onions or vegetable salad. Bon appetit! Smachnoho!!!!
