Draniki

Category: Basic Cuisine: Russian

Quantity : 4 servings Time: Preparation: 30 minutes. Cooking for 20 minutes. Calories: 270 kCal

Ingredients: Potatoes — 4-5 medium-sized tubers Chicken egg — 1 piece White onion — 1 piece Baking flour — 1 ½ tablespoons Salt and pepper to taste Frying oil Salmon roe for decoration

Description: Draniki are Russian potato pancakes. Potato pancakes are made all over the world and each country has its own name, but the principle of cooking almost does not change. Russian draniki is grated potatoes with the addition of flour, onion and chicken egg. They eat them with sour cream. They are decorated with red salmon caviar for the holidays. The crispy crust is obtained thanks to baking flour.

Instruction manual: 1. Wash and peel the potatoes. Grate it on a fine grater. 2. Peel the white onion and grate it on a fine grater. 3. Mix the potatoes, onion, flour, egg, salt and pepper. 4. Heat the oil in a frying pan on maximum heat. 5. Put the potato mixture in the pan. The volume is one tablespoon! Spread evenly in a thin layer with a height of 1 inch or 3 cm. Keep an eye on the oil level, as it is absorbed very quickly. 6. Fry until golden brown on each side. 7. We put it on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Serving: Serve hot, garnished with red salmon caviar, with sour cream.

Bon Appetit!

Nat: It’s pretty basic food, but it’s familiar so I like it. Feliks also likes the draniki, but he calls them latkes.

Kachka, 960 SE 11th Ave, Portland (Buckman), OR 97214

Kachka has earned rave reviews since it opened in 2014; it was a semifinalist for 2015’s James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant. It might be the best Russian restaurant in the country. The chef/owner cooks “the food of the former Soviet Union.” The interior is dimly lit, with retro wallpaper and portraits of famous Soviets like Lenin, Marx, and Gorbachev. The Russian music they play definitely helps set the mood of stepping back in time to the Soviet era. Of course, they offer lots of vodka and caviar.

The menu includes cold appetizers (cold zakuski), hot zakuski, dumplings (pelmeni, vareniki), shashliki (kabobs), mains, pickles and breads. They recommend sharing dishes.

Visser’s endives ($9): smoked farmer’s cheese, candied walnuts, grapefruit, poppyseed dressing. I was surprised by how good this was, even the candied walnuts were exceptional – they tasted roasted and sweet but not too sweet. Everything was so balanced, fresh, and flavorful.

Imerulian khachapuri ($13): smoked sulguni cheese wrapped in pillowy fried dough – different than the baked khachapuri w/ phyllo dough that I’ve had before, Kachka’s version was deep fried, rich, and heavy.  

Short rib borsch ($9): beet soup w/ shredded short rib, sour cream, and fresh dill, dark rye bread and Russian mustard. A lovely, earthy beet soup. The short rib was fine but not really necessary. The Russian mustard was as strong as wasabi – be careful.

Adjika rubbed wild prawns ($16): One skewer had four giant prawns and a fresh grapefruit salad. This was our least favorite dish because the spices didn’t penetrate the prawn.

Lamb lyuyla kebab with green adjika ($14): One juicy, ground lamb kebab, complementary sauce made with fresh herbs

Rabbit in a clay pot ($29): hindquarter braised in smetana, porcini, sour cherries, garlic, draniki. This was the best dish we had – luscious rabbit in a savory gravy (maybe smetana? What’s smetana) and thick, crispy potato pancakes. Divine.

Brindza & lepyoshka ($6): paprika sheep cheese spread with grilled to order uzbek style bread – pretty nice, like Russian style pimento creamy cheese, the bread is a thin grilled flatbread

Portions were fairly generous. Kachka makes you realize just how good Russian/Soviet food can be.

5 out of 5 stars

What's your favorite Russian dish? I've been trying to cook something Russian ever since the Katsudon boom started in the fandom but there's so many different foods, I've no idea where to start 😥 do you have any suggestions? Also, thank you for everything, you have this way of explaining things that makes stuff clear ❤️

Aww  thank you for your kind words!  ❤️The problem with the Russian cuisine is that I’m not sure if you can find ingredients for most famous dishes like okroshka, selyodka pod shuboi (herring in furs xD), shchi, homemade kvass and so on - and I LUUURVE these xD As for the food that appeared in YoI like pirozhki or borshch - I cook and love these too, but they are very time-consuming! Especially pirozhki, b/c yeast dough is a bitch. Home-made leaven dough (sourdough) is even a bigger bitch, but it’s the best and the tastiest, I swear. But it takes a week or two to grow leaven, ahah xDDD (That’s why no one does this. Except me. And some other crazy folks from the internet who bake and are interested in “the recipes of the ancestors” lol).  Not to mention preparing all those stuffings. Not the best option to start with xDI know there are Russian shops in America that sell some authentic stuff like pelmeni, vareniki, or kvass (but I’m not sure the brands they have are good enough). As for other parts of the world, I don’t know. We eat a lot of strange things like sunflower seed oil, brown buckwheat, fermented milk products like kefir, ryazhenka, sour cream, also sauerkraut (in our case it’s fermented cabbage+carrot mix, sometimes with cranberry), salzgurken (and these are NOT pickled cucumbers)… judging by the names, Germans eat these things as well :D Russian crepes… they are easy, at the same time a little bit boring. But there is one Russian dish I love that you should have no problem finding the ingredients for or cooking! Well, yes, it’s not strictly Russian (Wiki says it’s Belarusian, just like borshch is considered Ukrainian), but still it’s very popular here and in the neighboring Slavic (and not only) countries - it’s draniki or potato pancakes. And no Russian would refuse them!

You only need potatoes, onions, eggs, and flour to make them (sometimes with carrots and greens, like in the pic above). Another version of this is squash pancakes in which you use squashes instead of potatoes, and I love them even more, b/c I have fresh squashes in my garden in summer xDDD I like dipping these vegetable pancakes in sour cream that has some lemon juice in it + dill + garlic. Or in a sour berry sauce: red currant + a lot of ground black pepper + garlic. (We eat a lot of berry in Russia! It grows here very well).These are easy to make, and there are many recipes in English available. But the basic drill is this: you grate raw potatoes, then squeeze the grated stuff with your hands so that most of the juice flows out (this is the most effort-consuming part). When it’s dry enough, you mix it with the equal amount of onions (cut into small pieces), add raw eggs, flour, salt + spices you like, then form the cakes, sprinkle them with flour one last time - and on the pan they go! They should be about 10 cm in diameter (4 inches) or less. Aaah now I want some! xD Gotta cook tomorrow. If you decide to cook them, tell me if you liked them! Or maybe you have already eaten something like this?So, my fellow Russians, what is your fave dish that the anon could try cooking?My blog has been like an ask-blog recently xD Gotta draw some victuuri already!
