Ingredients

  • Mushroom filling
  • 1 ounce dried wild mushrooms, blend (or a handful of fresh mushrooms)
  • 1/4 cup minced red onion
  • 1 teaspoon dill
  • salt
  • pepper
  • Draniki
  • 1 1/2 lbs potatoes, peeled
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup soymilk (or milk of choice)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • vegetable oil, for frying

Method

  • Rehydrate dried mushrooms according to package directions. Mince and add with onion to a pan with a little oil. Cook until soft. Add dill and salt and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Shred potatoes using a grater, food processor, or mandoline. Add remaining ingredients and stir together.
  • Heat about a 1/4 inch layer of oil in a large skillet over medium. Once oil sizzles when you drop a bit of potato in it, begin cooking. Spoon in draniki batter and flatten with a spoon.
  • Add a small spoonful of the mushroom mixture. Top with more draniki batter.
  • Cook until browned and no longer sticks to the bottom of the pan (this should take several minutes). Flip and cook on the other side. Hold in a warm oven while the rest of the drakini are cooked. Serve hot with sour cream.
