30 minutes
Cheese draniki are a delicious dish of Ukrainian cuisine that captivates with its crunch and rich flavor. The history of draniki has roots in Belarusian tradition but has long become a favorite treat in Ukraine. Adding cheese gives classic potato pancakes tenderness and zest. The crispy golden crust hides a soft, aromatic filling where cheese harmoniously complements the potato and spicy notes of garlic and onion. They are served hot with sour cream or herbs, making them even juicier and more expressive. Draniki are perfect for a cozy home dinner or festive table, evoking a sense of warmth and comfort.
