Grated potato pancakes with a twist.
That’s a typical dish people cook in Belarus and Russian regions adjacent to the state, but both Russia and Belarus have bitter disputes who invented the recipe. No matter who the authors are, the draniki – potato pancakes – are a great thing to have on any table.
Grate the peeled potatoes (like a kilo or so) on a small-whole grater – the rougher the tool, the better the taste. Now act fast: beat in salt, pepper, 1 egg and a spoonful of flour, and fry little potato pancakes on a mixture of hot sunflower seed oil and butter.
Draniki are normally served with sour-cream, or salted (or even smoked) salmon, herrings of all kinds, or caviar.
