Remove the skin from the thighs and remove the bone. Leave the fillet clean.
Peel the potatoes.
I grated the potatoes in an electric meat grinder using a disc specially designed for this purpose. Along with the potatoes, I put the meat and onions through a meat grinder, cutting them into pieces in advance. If you cook by hand, grate the potatoes and onions on a grater (preferably a fine one). Grind the meat in a meat grinder with large holes, but it is better to chop it very finely with a knife, then pieces of meat can be felt in the finished pancakes, making the dish especially tasty.
If you prepare potato pancakes from new potatoes, remember that they are juicier, so it is better to add 2 tablespoons of flour to the resulting mass, which will retain moisture. If the potatoes are not young, then you don’t need to add flour, the potato pancakes will be more tender.
Salt, pepper, add sour cream, eggs and mix thoroughly. We add sour cream so that the potato mixture does not darken. The consistency of the dough will be like thick sour cream.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and add the potato mixture with a tablespoon. If you want the pancakes to have a beautiful shape, pour the potato dough into the center of the pancake and the mass will spread evenly in all directions. Fry potato pancakes with meat on both sides over medium heat until golden brown (about 2 minutes on each side). Frying time depends on the thickness of the pancakes, the pan and the heat.
Serve hot. Potato pancakes with meat are very tasty served with a sauce made from sour cream mixed with a clove of garlic passed through a press and a pinch of salt.
I think that I am not lying at all if I allow myself to say a few flattering words about potatoes.
She fully deserves this, because most likely there is no person who would have a negative attitude towards her. Potatoes are the first adult food for babies, who happily finger them with their sponges, trying to understand its delicate taste.

Did you know that potato pancakes made from grated potatoes are popular not only in our domestic kitchens, but also abroad? True, the recipes for their preparation are slightly different from each other, but in the end result we get almost the same dish. It doesn’t matter where it’s served to you, be it in Ukraine, or in Russia, or maybe in Sweden or Israel - you’ll still immediately guess that it’s a potato pancake.
Today we will look at several recipes for preparing national pancakes with meat.
Recipe 1: Belarusian pancakes with meat
— yellow potatoes - 1.5 kg;
- minced meat - 300 g,
Let's start, perhaps, with preparing minced meat, because grated potatoes tend to quickly darken and take on an unattractive appearance. So, if we have ready-made minced meat, that’s great. If not, then grind the meat in a food processor. Cut the onion into small cubes and add it to the minced meat. Add 0.5 tsp. ground pepper and a pinch of salt. Mix and beat against the wall like cutlets. If desired, you can also add some of your favorite spices to the minced meat or chopped herbs.
Three peeled potatoes on a fine grater. This way the potato pancakes will turn out juicier than when the potatoes are grated on a coarser grater. Add only salt to the potato porridge. No need to add pepper here!
To make it easier for us to cook potato pancakes in a frying pan, I recommend that you prepare in advance from the minced meat thin flat cakes with a diameter of 2 cm. Place them on a cutting board next to the stove and let’s start frying the pancakes.
Heat a frying pan, pour oil into it and let it heat up well. Use a tablespoon to spread the first batch of potato pancakes over the entire diameter of the pan. Now with our hands we place our meat cakes on top of the potato ones and again use a tablespoon to cover the minced meat with grated potatoes.
Cover the pan with a lid and fry the potato pancakes over medium heat. When the bottom side is browned, carefully turn each one over with a spatula and continue to fry with the lid on. Place the finished browned Belarusian pancakes on a plate and serve with sour cream.

— chicken egg - 1 pc.;
- tomato paste or ketchup - 2 tbsp;
- pepper and salt; a piece of butter, vegetable oil.
First, peel the potatoes and grate them. Mix the mass. Please note that if your potatoes have released a lot of liquid, then drain a little of it, but not all of it! Add 1-2 tbsp to the potatoes. flour, depending on the consistency of the puree and 1 egg. Let's also add a pinch of soda and salt. Add ground pepper as desired. Mix everything and quickly fry the pancakes in a frying pan in vegetable oil. Quickly so that it does not have time to darken.
Finely chop the pork with a knife. Place in another frying pan with oil and fry. While it is cooking, we will peel and chop the onions and add them to the meat. Stir, add salt and pepper, and as soon as the onion is well browned, add sour cream and ketchup to the pan. Stir, cover with a lid and simmer all together for another 5 minutes.
Now let’s grease the inside of our pots with a piece of butter. Some people also lower a small cube to the bottom of the pot. Now let’s put our golden brown pancakes in pots, pour the meat sauce on top, and cover with another layer of pancakes, and so on until the top. The top layer should be made from potato pancakes. Place the pots in the oven and cook for half an hour. Serve hot.
Recipe 3: potato pancakes with chicken
— chicken breast - 1 piece;
- cloves of garlic - 3 teeth;
— onion - 1 pc.; salt and spices.
For potato pancakes, it is better to take large potatoes. It is juicier and easier to grate. Salt the grated potatoes in a bowl and leave it for a few minutes. It is better to drain the excess juice. Add mayonnaise, egg, chopped onion and garlic to the potatoes. Cut the chicken fillet into thin slices, season with spices, salt and pepper and add to the potato mixture. Stir.
Heat a frying pan with oil and add the prepared mixture. Gently level with a spoon and fry on both sides until an appetizing crust appears. Serve hot potato pancakes with chicken meat to the table immediately hot, garnish with herbs.
Recipe 4: potato pancakes with meat in the oven

- spices, egg and salt.
Peel the potatoes and grate them on a fine grater. You also need to grate the cheese and add it to the potato mixture along with the egg, spices and salt. Mix well with a spoon.

Let's preheat the oven. Be sure to grease the baking sheet with oil and spoon out half of the prepared potato mixture. Place the prepared minced meat on top of each tortilla and immediately cover with a second layer of potato tortillas. Cover with food foil and bake them in the oven for 40 minutes. Then remove the foil and seal
The finished dish can be served with sour cream or sauce, as well as with a side dish such as buckwheat, pasta or stewed cabbage.
— For potato pancakes, select large potato tubers of crumbly varieties. Firstly, it will be more convenient for you to grate them, and secondly, potato pancakes turn out more tender from the crumbly variety of potatoes.
- If the potatoes have released a lot of juice, it is better to drain them a little. A large amount of juice requires a larger amount of flour, and as a result the dish will turn out heavy and not tender.

Draniki in Belarus, potato pancakes in Ukraine, potato pancakes in Lithuania, Terunians in Russia, bramboracs in the Czech Republic - all these are names for the same thing, essentially representing pancakes made from grated raw potatoes. Lush, rosy, with a crispy crust - who doesn’t love them!
And for meat fans, there is an option for potato pancakes with filling. In Belarus they are called “sorcerers”. These are the same potato pancakes, only stuffed with minced meat. This folk delicacy is especially to the taste of men and everyone who loves potatoes.
Where to start
For many, preparing this dish seems like the highest level of culinary art. But is it really that complicated? Let's try to cook together and reveal the secrets of real “sorcerers” or potato pancakes with meat.
First we go to the store.
What products will we need?
Ingredients
It is better to buy large potatoes, so that they are easier to peel, and mature ones (young ones have little starch). You can prepare the minced meat yourself, then you need to buy meat (pork and beef). But if we are “looking for easy ways”, we will take a ready-made one.
Let's start cooking
The actual preparation consists of only three steps.
Sometimes it seems to me that potatoes are enough for my husband - he would only eat them. If the queen of his stomach comes to the table in the form of potato pancakes, especially potato pancakes with meat, happiness knows no bounds. And so, frying potato pancakes for the hundredth time this week, I ask myself the question: who needs this variety in food?
My husband, with his masculine idea of proper cooking, does not understand anything about my passion for overseas fruits, new snacks, light salads, and delicious desserts. So it turns out that I’m trying exclusively for myself. As you yourself understand, this is absolutely frivolous!
I'm looking for compromises. In order not to fry endless potato pancakes, today I will call them sorcerers. And next time with potato pancakes. Or tertikov. In a week - potato plunderers. Or potato pancakes. To make the mood even more cheerful, I’ll start alternating the fillings. Perhaps on today's menu we will have... potato pancakes with meat, and on Thursday... potato pancakes with meat. Simple, fast, satisfying and - most importantly - not as banal as just potato pancakes!
Ingredients
To make potato pancakes with meat, you will need:- 7-8 medium-sized potatoes;
- 2 eggs;
- 2 cloves of garlic;
- 1 onion;
- 3 tbsp. l. flour;
- salt to taste;
- 200 g minced meat;
- vegetable oil for frying;
- sour cream for serving.
Preparation
COOKING MINTED POTATOES. First of all, wash and peel the potatoes and place them in a bowl of water.
We clean the onion. Garlic is the same.
And we begin the most interesting thing - almost dancing with a tambourine: all the cleaned splendor must be grated. Small. It is better to keep the nails, skin and blood for yourself. Moreover, you need to grate it quickly - with prolonged contact with air, the potatoes will turn blue and turn into something unappetizing. By the way, onions in this case are very useful - thanks to an unknown to me, but very surprising chemistry, potatoes, which are friends with grated onions, almost do not darken.
Proponents of manual labor can safely move on to the next paragraph, I tell lazy people like me: for many years I have been quite successfully asking for the favor of my food processor. Believe me, he rubs everything you need in the most miraculous way: quickly, efficiently and with your hands intact.
ADD EGGS, SALT, FLOUR TO THE POTATO MASS. Stir and set the frying pan to heat up - that old, black one, but the most reliable one. Pour a little oil and let them warm up together.
We check the minced meat - for meat pancakes it should not be dry, it must be salted and pepper added. If necessary, you can mix the meat with a spoonful of sour cream or cream and even add a little boiling water.
FRIING POTATO DRANIKI WITH MEAT. Place a little dough on the frying pan - about the size of a tablespoon. Lay out and flatten slightly, forming a neat pancake. The fire is minimal. Place a small amount of minced meat on each pancake. We do not place it in the center in a colorful mound, but distribute it evenly over the entire area of the potato pancake. We take a little more dough and cover the meat.
It is important not to make tall “multi-story” potato pancakes with meat - they may simply not be cooked through. Try to strive for a reasonable minimum - and then you will succeed!
Fry over low heat on both sides until a firm golden crust appears.
VOILA, EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO THE TABLE! Serve pancakes with meat with sour cream or melted butter. It’s a good idea to sprinkle the finished sorcerers with finely chopped garlic.
