Potato pancakes in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make potato pancakes in the oven? Prepare your food. Choose medium-sized potatoes, I had 3 because I cooked half the portion. If you wish, you can add onions and garlic to the potato pancakes; we like pancakes without them.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the potatoes well under running water, then peel. Grate it directly into the bowl in which you will knead the dough, this way there will be less dirty dishes. Which grater to grate it on is a matter of taste. Real Belarusian potato pancakes are grated on the finest grater, but modern recipes allow for coarse grating. I chose the medium size.

3. STEP 3

   

   Now squeeze the resulting potato mixture thoroughly with your hands to get rid of excess liquid - it will interfere with the browning of the potato pancakes. Here, I still advise you to take a colander and not skimp on dishes. It will be much more convenient. Drain off the squeezed liquid. You should be left with fairly dry potato chips.

4. STEP 4

   

   Beat eggs into it, add salt and pepper to taste. Add flour. To make the potato pancakes crispier, you can replace some of the flour with potato starch.

5. STEP 5

   

   Mix the potato mixture thoroughly.

6. STEP 6

   

   Take a baking tray of the appropriate size. If your baking sheet does not have a non-stick coating, then it is better to cover it with parchment - otherwise the potato pancakes may stick. Grease the paper with a small amount of odorless vegetable oil (if you are using a baking sheet without paper, grease it with more oil). Place potato pancakes on paper in the form of flat cakes. From half the portion I got 9 pieces.

7. STEP 7

   

   My potato pancakes turned out to be a little large; they could have been made smaller and thicker. Place the pan with potato pancakes in the oven, preheated to 190°C (I use electric, top-bottom mode) for about 30 minutes. Draniki should be browned on the bottom. They didn’t want to turn brown for a long time, so I turned up the temperature to 200°C. When this happens, remove the pan and use a spatula to turn the pancakes over to the other side. Focus on your oven.

8. STEP 8

   

   Return the pan to the oven and keep the pancakes there for another 15 minutes. Remove the hot potato pancakes to a plate and serve immediately.

9. STEP 9

   

   Serve sour cream with pancakes. Bon appetit!

I first fry the pancakes in a frying pan, put them in a clay pot and put them in the oven for a few minutes, pouring sour cream on top and sprinkling grated cheese on top. Or I just fry it. They turn out golden brown and crusty.

Just this morning I saw these potato pancakes in the “New Recipes” section. I immediately wanted to make them for breakfast. They are prepared quickly and easily. I was too lazy to grate the potatoes, so I chopped them in a blender. I squeezed the potato mixture through cheesecloth, and then everything was done according to the recipe. By the way, after squeezing, there was starch left in the bowl, I drained the liquid, and added the starch to the dough along with flour. The pancakes turned out to be dietary, not greasy. Crispy crust on top. There was no need to turn it over; the potato cakes were perfectly baked. Perhaps because I greased them with vegetable oil on top. I added dried tomatoes, basil and garlic to the dough. I liked the potato pancakes with mayonnaise, my husband with sour cream, and my son with tomato kutchup) Delicious, aromatic pancakes. Next time I'll sprinkle them with cheese, I think it will turn out good too.

My mother made everything exactly according to the recipe, but it didn’t work out. The pancakes stuck tightly to the baking sheet and were impossible to remove. Although the baking sheet was generously greased with oil, the oven was preheated and baked for only 15 minutes at 180°. Maybe it depends on the stove?
