Ingredients
For the Potato Pancakes
For the Sour Cream Topping
Preparation
Prepping the Potatoes
Grate Potatoes
Grate the potatoes using a box grater.
Remove Excess Liquid
Squeeze out excess liquid and place grated potatoes in a bowl.
Ensure all excess liquid is removed from the grated potatoes to achieve a crispier pancake.
Combine Ingredients
Mix in the chopped onion, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes after combining to allow the flavors to meld together.
Preparing the Sour Cream
Mix Topping
In a separate bowl, mix sour cream with fresh dill and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
Cooking Process
Fry the Pancakes
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of potato mixture into the pan, flattening them gently. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Drain Excess Oil
Transfer cooked deruny to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve with Toppings
Serve warm with a generous spoonful of dill-infused sour cream.
