Deruny are classic Ukrainian potato pancakes made with finely grated potatoes, onions, eggs, flour, and sour cream. Once prepared, the batter is fried in a pan, resulting in small pancakes with a soft and moist interior and a slightly brown exterior.

Deruny are traditionally served hot, paired with a dollop of sour cream. There are many versions of these pancakes, with added ingredients such as ground meat, mushrooms, or cabbage.
