I do not fry on oil in principle, I send dranikas to bake in the oven.

Without potato pancakes or draniks it is impossible to imagine Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian cuisine. But the classic recipe sins too much oil, which is not good for everyone. How to make this dish less fatty, knows the chef and host of the culinary channel Lilia Zvit. Dranks in the oven according to her recipe is a real find! And cooking them is even easier than fried ones.



Dranks in the oven Ingredients

• 1 kg of potatoes
• 1 bulb
• buttercup
• 1 egg
• salt and pepper
• greenbow

The ingredients

• 200g cottage cheese
• 2-3 cloves of garlic
• 2 tbsp sour cream
• 50g hard cheese
• salt

Preparation

1. Peel the potatoes and one large onion.
   
   
   
2. Then cut everything in small pieces and grind in a bowl of blender.
3. Wait for a uniform mass. Put the chopped vegetables in a bowl.
4. Turn on the oven so it can heat up.
5. Add salt, pepper and one egg to the potatoes. Stir everything with a spoon.
   
   
   
6. Cover the pan with baking paper. Put the potato mass on paper, giving it the shape of small flat pancakes.
   
   
   
7. Bake danks quite quickly, literally 10-15 minutes. So it's important not to dry them. To do this, set a high temperature of 220 degrees and watch for potato pancakes to turn rosy.
8. While the bakes are baked, you can make the sauce. Add to the homemade cottage cheese sour cream, some salt, crushed garlic. Stir all the components with a spoon. If the mixture is too thick, add more sour cream.
9. Be careful not to tear, take the danks off the paper. They can already be eaten with sour cream. But we didn't make the sauce for nothing!
   
   
   
10. Lubricate a piece of butter with a baking mold. Put baked pancakes in it. Lubricate the dranic with cooked sauce, evenly spreading it over the surface.
    
    
    
11. Sprinkle grated cheese on top.
    
    
    
12. While the oven is still hot, send a mold into it so that the cheese on top melts.
13. Before serving on the table, decorate the dish with sliced green onions or other seasonal greens. The full recipe can be found on Julia's YouTube channel. You won’t find recipes like her anywhere else. We highly recommend signing up!
