👨🍳 Інструкції
- 1
Grate the peeled potatoes and onion using the fine side of a box grater or a food processor. It's crucial to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated mixture. You can do this by placing it in a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel and wringing it out.
💡 Професійні поради: Squeezing out the liquid is key to achieving crispy deruny. Reserve the potato starch that settles at the bottom of the liquid for extra crispiness. - 2
Transfer the squeezed potato and onion mixture to a bowl. Add the egg, flour, salt, and pepper. If you reserved the potato starch, add it back to the mixture now. Mix well until everything is combined.

Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
💡 Професійні поради: A cast-iron skillet is ideal for even heating and crisping. - 4
Spoon portions of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form thin pancakes. Don't overcrowd the pan; fry in batches.

Fry for about 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
⏱️ 5 minutes💡 Професійні поради: Flip carefully to ensure even browning on both sides. - 6
Remove the cooked deruny from the skillet with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
💡 Професійні поради: Keep the cooked deruny warm in a low oven (around 200°F/95°C) while you fry the remaining batches. - 7
Serve the deruny immediately with a dollop of sour cream. Optional: serve with a side of mushroom sauce or a sprinkle of fresh dill.
💡 Професійні поради: Deruny are best enjoyed fresh and hot.
💡 Професійні поради
- ✓For extra flavor, you can add finely chopped garlic or herbs like dill or parsley to the batter.
- ✓If you don't have sour cream, plain yogurt or a dollop of crème fraîche can be used as a substitute.
- ✓Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the batter; otherwise, the deruny will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
