Potato draniki with minced meat

40 min4 serv.19 февр. 2026 г.

Description

The recipe won't take much time. For the pancakes, I use yellow potatoes meant for frying—they don't turn into mash, and the pancakes turn out excellent. Choose any filling you like; if you don't prefer fatty meat, go for chicken—I'm using a pork and beef mix. For spices, I only use black pepper and smoked paprika, which gives a magical smoky aroma and flavor. See all the details in my step-by-step recipe. Serve hot.
