Individual manufacturing

Potato pancakes with cheese are prepared almost the same way as regular pancakes according to the classic recipe. But it’s hard to make ordinary potato pancakes tasty and delicious if you don’t know a few secrets.

Potatoes contain starch, which acts as a binding ingredient. There is not much in young potatoes, but there is a lot in old potatoes. The amount of starch in potatoes also depends on the variety of this vegetable. Therefore, for potato pancakes, you should take mature potatoes of types that differ in the highest starch content. This is especially important in this case, when potato pancakes are prepared without eggs and flour.
Potatoes tend to darken when exposed to air, but grayish pancakes do not look very appetizing. Onions will help save the situation. It needs to be chopped and combined with the potatoes as soon as they are grated. You can even chop the potatoes and onions, alternating.
The dough for potato pancakes does not have to be very watery. Therefore, the potato mass must be squeezed through gauze folded in three layers. If after this the dough still seems watery to you, you can thicken it with starch or flour. But there doesn’t have to be a lot of flour, because the more there is, the denser and harder the pancakes will be. If you don’t want them to resemble rubber, you should limit yourself to 2–4 tablespoons of flour per kilogram of potatoes, or you can do without it entirely.
If potato pancakes are fried in a frying pan, then the dough is placed on a hot frying pan in bubbling oil. In this case, the oil level should reach the middle of the potato pancakes. Only in this case will they turn out smooth, appetizing, with crispy edges and tender inside.

Potato pancakes with cheese can be served, like classic ones, with sour cream. But cheese mixes well with tomato sauce, so ketchup can also be considered as a sauce option for this dish.

These flatbreads are best served hot. When they are still crispy, with stretchy strings of cheese inside. Sour cream with garlic and herbs is always a win-win option for sauce.

Traditional recipe for pancakes with cheese and onions

Crispy, golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside, these potato pancakes simply melt in your mouth. I can never limit myself to just one. Our pile of flatbreads immediately flies away.

There are already young potatoes growing in my garden. This is what I will cook from.

List of goods:

Potatoes - 5-7 pcs.
Hard cheese - 100 gr.
Greens - to taste
Onion - 1 pc.
Flour - 1-2 tbsp.
Salt, ground pepper - to taste
Vegetable oil - for frying
Egg - 1 pc.
Garlic - optional

Manufacturing:

1. Peel the onion and chop it very finely with a knife. You can also grate it with a grater.

2. You can use any hard cheese. The main thing is that it melts perfectly, then you will get the same “strings” when biting off. Rub that too.

3. We prepare the potatoes last so that they do not darken. We clean it, then rub it with a large grater. When grated, squeeze out excess juice. And transfer it to a huge bowl, where we will knead the dough.

4. Drive in the egg. If you wish, you can add one more. Grated cheese also goes here.

5. There is literally no need for greenery here. Chop finely and add to the general composition.

6. Well, and garlic. Some people don’t like it, but it fits perfectly into the composition of this dish. Therefore, I advise you to add a couple of slices.

7. Salt the mixture and pepper to taste. We turn everything into a homogeneous consistency.

8. Almost 1 tbsp. add flour. After each time, mix and look at the mixture. If necessary, add more flour.

The mixture should be soft, but quite plastic.

9. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. It should completely cover the bottom.

10. When warmed up well, spoon out portioned flatbreads here. Turn up the heat to medium.

If you cook on high, they will quickly burn on the outside and be raw on the inside.

11. When they are browned on the bottom, turn them over to the other side.

In this way, we prepare products from the entire dough on both sides. Right off the pan, I transfer them to a paper towel. The paper quickly absorbs excess oil.

At the same time, you can quickly prepare the sauce. Mix sour cream or mayonnaise with finely chopped herbs and garlic. You can add salt and pepper to taste.

Draniki with cheese and ham fried in a frying pan

Sausage or ham is often added to the usual composition of potato dough. This will be a real lunch.

Ingredients:

Potatoes - 6 pcs.
Ham - 200 gr.
Onion - 1 head
Hard cheese - 200 gr.
Testicles - 1-2 pcs.
Chopped dill - 2 tbsp.
Flour - 5 tbsp.
Salt, ground pepper to taste
Vegetable oil - 4 tbsp.

Manufacturing process:

1. Peel the potatoes and rub them with a large grater. When it is all grated, squeeze out excess juice with your hands.

By the way. Potato juice is very beneficial for the digestive system. You can just drink it.

2. We also peel and chop the onion like potatoes - with a grater.

3. Take whatever cheese and ham you have on hand.

By the way, you can use sausage instead of ham.

4. Three of them with a grater too. We combine all these ingredients in one bowl - cheese, potatoes, onions and ham.

5. Finely chop the dill and place in a common bowl. Next, pour in the eggs, add salt and ground pepper to taste. If you wish, you can add your favorite seasonings. For example, sweet paprika or Italian herbs.

6. Add the required amount of flour and mix everything until a homogeneous plastic mass. You can create this with a mixer.

7. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. When it is hot enough, spoon out portioned flatbreads. We trim them slightly. Fry over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side. This depends both on the power of your stove and on the properties of the frying pan.

8. When they turn pink on the bottom, turn them over. Do not fry over high heat, otherwise they will burn on the surface and be raw on the inside. And very leisurely heating will not give you a golden brown crust. Therefore, the golden mean, medium fire, is the most perfect option.

Serve them hot, with sour cream, mayonnaise or other sauce.
