Instruction manual
1
First you need to prepare vegetables and utensils. Since potatoes in the open air quickly darken, as soon as the vegetables are ready, they immediately begin to fry potato pancakes in a pan.
2
Potatoes must first be peeled and divided into 2 parts. One part of the potato (about 500 grams) is triturated on a fine grater, the second part is on the average. The onions are peeled and finely diced. In a bowl mix both parts of grated potatoes, salt, dill, spices. If there is a lot of liquid, then a certain amount of juice is squeezed out by hand.
3
Heat the pan and pour vegetable oil. Spread the potato mixture with a spoon, if necessary, smooth the surface of the pancake and fry on both sides until crisp. Ready-made potato pancakes are laid out on a dish with a paper napkin. Served hot with sour cream or garlic sauce.
note
For those who are afraid of a large amount of vegetable oil in the dish, there is a recommendation from the chefs: put hot pancakes on a paper towel or a four-fold napkin. Excess oil is absorbed into the napkin, and unnecessary calories will not enter the body.
