Drainiki (master class)
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. These pancakes can be made for breakfast or simply as a snack when you feel like something special... I like them with sour cream, but any sauce will taste great with them. There are no eggs in the potato batter, so this dish can also be prepared during fasting. Give it a try, good luck! The finished dish can be served.

Step 1
Prepare the ingredients, a frying pan, and a grater — and let's get started!

Step 2
Grate the potatoes and onions on a coarse grater, mix them together, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Some housewives prefer to let the mixture drain for a while, but then the potatoes may darken. I prefer to do it quickly to preserve an appetizing appearance and color. That's why I squeeze it well by hand.

Step 3
Add salt (and black pepper to taste, if desired) and flour. Mix the mass well. It will be dry.
