Potato pancakes with sausage

3 servings

25 minutes

Potato draniki with sausage is a hearty and aromatic dish of Belarusian cuisine, rooted in traditional deruny. They combine the crispy crust of potato pancakes with the rich flavor of sausage, creating a wonderful dish for breakfast or lunch. Potatoes give draniki a tender texture, while the addition of garlic and onion makes them more piquant. Fried to a golden crust in hot oil, they acquire an appetizing appearance and rich taste. Serving with herbs and sour cream sauce adds even more harmony to the dish, making it especially tasty and homely. Draniki can be served as a standalone dish or as a great side to meat or vegetable dishes.
