Draniki is the most typical dish in Belarus. These potato pancakes are made with a combination of flour, potatoes, milk, salt, eggs, pepper, onions, and butter. The combination is fried in a pan until golden brown on both sides. If desired, the potato pancakes can also be fried in the oven.

Once done, they are traditionally served with a large dollop of sour cream on the side. Additional sides can include mushrooms, poppy seeds, pork crackling, or even fruit.
