How to Make Perfect Draniki? The Secret That Will Make Them Crispy and Tender

Both adults and children love draniki. But for some reason sometimes the dish turns out not crispy enough.

The secret to perfect potato pancakes is one little trick. It's time to tell you about it.

Let's start with potatoes. Use mature potatoes with a high starch content. They hold their shape better and become crispier.

New potatoes may fall apart. Grate the potatoes on a fine grater. This will make the potato pancakes more tender.

Now about the onion. Add it to the potato mixture. Onion not only adds flavor, but also prevents the potatoes from browning.

Grate the onion on the same grater as the potatoes. This will ensure even distribution.

The secret ingredient that will make potato pancakes crispy is starch. Add a tablespoon to the potato mixture. It will bind the juice and make the dish denser.

Also add an egg: it will prevent it from falling apart.

Fry the potato pancakes in a well-heated frying pan with a little oil.

Don't cover with a lid: this will make the potato pancakes steamy instead of crispy. Turn the pancakes over when the edges begin to brown.

Serve the pancakes hot, with a spoonful of sour cream and fresh herbs. This will make the dish complete and incredibly delicious.

Now you know the secret of perfect draniki. The pancakes will be crispy and tender at the same time. Your loved ones will definitely ask for more!
