Draniki (also known as deruny), are unusual but tasty Russian stuffed potato pancakes made with ground potatoes. These are stuffed and cooked with a juicy meat patty inside. It is a delicious surprise! This recipe starts with raw potatoes so the texture is nothing like the mashed potato pancakes we posted earlier. It’s difficult to improve on this classic, but wow these are sure delicious!
