Deruny, or Ukrainian potato pancakes, are a classic comfort food dish that have been enjoyed by families for generations. These delicious pancakes are made with simple ingredients and are perfect for a cozy weekend breakfast or a hearty side dish. The combination of crispy potato and savory flavors make deruny a truly satisfying dish.
Ingredients:
– 4 large potatoes
– 1 small onion
– 2 eggs
– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– Vegetable oil for frying
– Sour cream, for serving
Instructions:
1. Begin by peeling the potatoes and grating them using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl.
2. Finely chop the onion and add it to the bowl with the grated potatoes.
3. Add the eggs, flour, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the potatoes and mix everything together until well combined.
4. Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
5. Once the oil is hot, use a large spoon to scoop the potato mixture and carefully drop it into the hot oil, flattening it slightly with the back of the spoon to form a pancake shape.
6. Cook the deruny for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to add more oil to the pan between batches.
7. Once the deruny are cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve the deruny hot, with a dollop of sour cream on top for extra creaminess.
Deruny are best enjoyed fresh and hot, so be sure to serve them immediately after cooking for the best taste and texture.
Buon appetito!
