Potato drachena
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Dračena consists of: wheat flour, egg yolks and whites, butter, and salt. In old times, dračena was considered not an everyday dish at all, but rather a delicacy and a festive treat. Previously, its composition included not only rye (black) flour, but also half wheat (white) flour. In earlier times, many more eggs were added to dračena as well. A very tasty old-fashioned recipe. Preparation: Wash the potatoes, peel them, and grate on a grater. Then mix with flour, add raw eggs, season slightly with salt, add black ground pepper and baking soda. Peel the onion, finely chop it, and sauté in lard on a heated skillet until translucent. Now add the fried onion to the potato mixture. Grease a deep skillet, spread the potato mixture evenly in it, and place into a preheated oven to bake. When the dračena is ready, remove it from the oven, transfer onto a plate, and serve. Dračena is served hot, accompanied by melted butter or sour cream. The finished dish can now be served.
