Today's recipe for Potato Pancakes aka Dranuku (or Russian Draniki), the national dish of Belarus and comes from a 14 year old young lady. This sounds so yummy! I love anything with potatoes. The postcard image is of Independence Avenue in Minsk. It is so beautiful!
Ingredients:
4 large potatoes
1 yellow onion
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
2-4 tablespoons flour
black pepper
oil
Directions:
1. Finely grate the potatoes with onion into a large bowl. Drain off any excess liquid.
2. Mix in egg, salt and black pepper. Add enough flour to make mixture thick, about 2-4 tablespooons all together.
3. Turn oven to low, about 200 F or 95 C.
4. Heat 1/4 inch oil in the bottom of a heavy skillet over medium high heat. Fry turning once, until golden brown.
(Note: Simply use an all purpose or your favorite gluten free flour blend to make it gluten free!)
Bon apetit and Happy Postcrossing!
