Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs. Russet potatoes $1.75
  • 1 yellow onion $0.38
  • 2 large eggs $0.39
  • 2-3 Tbsp all-purpose flour $0.02
  • 1 tsp salt $0.05
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper $0.02
  • 3-4 Tbsp cooking oil (for frying) $0.16

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel the potatoes and onion, then rinse with cold water.
  2. In a large bowl, grate potatoes and onion on the star-shaped side of a grater, taking turns and mixing the grated mixture. This will prevent potatoes from browning.
  3. Add eggs, flour, salt, and pepper and mix well. The batter will be on a liquid side. Alternatively, you can prepare it in a food processor by grinding all ingredients together until no large chunks are left, for about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Preheat a large non-stick skillet on medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp of oil. Add a large spoonful of pancake batter and fry until golden brown, flip and cook on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  5. Serve the deruny hot with a dollop of sour cream. Makes about 30 deruny.
