Draniki are one of the most famous dishes of Belarusian cuisine, symbolizing simplicity and flavor. Their history is rooted in rural life where potatoes were a staple food. Golden, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they captivate hearts with their rich potato taste complemented by a hint of onion and pepper spiciness. Sour cream adds creamy softness while fresh herbs provide a delicate aromatic touch. Draniki are versatile: they can be served as a standalone dish or as a side to meat. They are perfect for a cozy home dinner or festive gathering, reminding of warm traditions and family comfort.
