Potatoes Fritters - Draniki

A traditional Polish-Ukrainian food, I learned how to cook them when I used to visit my grandmother in Ukraine. They are a kind of potato pancakes, very quick to make and even quicker to eat.

They are delicious with garlic sauce, sour cream or yogurt - I recommend trying them, you'll like them for sure.
