Deruny

Ingredients

  • 4 pcs Potato
  • 1 pcs Onion
  • 1 pcs Egg
  • 1 tbsp All Purpose Flour
  • 4 tbsp Sunflower Oil
  • 1.25 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Black Pepper
  • 8 tbsp Sour Cream
  • 4 tbsp Dill

Method

  1. Coarsely grate {potato} and finely grate {onion} into a bowl. Sprinkle with {salt}, toss, and let them stand briefly so the potatoes release liquid for crisper edges.
  2. Squeeze the liquid firmly from {potato} and {onion}, then transfer to a dry bowl. Add {egg}, {all_purpose_flour}, {black_pepper}, and a little more {salt}, then mix just until the batter holds together.
  3. Heat {sunflower_oil} in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the {potato} batter in small mounds without crowding the pan, flatten lightly, and fry in batches until deep golden with lacy edges, turning once.
  4. Transfer the hot deruny to plates, spoon over {sour_cream}, and finish with {dill} for a cool, bright contrast.
