DERUNY (POTATO PANCAKES)
Potato pancakes or deruny are one of the most beloved meat-free dishes in Ukraine. They have been popular throughout history and saved many lives during the Ukrainian Terror Famine in 1932-33. Back then, people would make deruny using anything they could get hold of-linden leaves, sorrel leaves, left over nuts and grains. Fortunately, everyone can enjoy the yummy potato-based version nowadays.

Steps:
- Peel 4 large Yukon potatoes and 1 small yellow onion. Line a sieve with a large bowl so that potatoes will drain while you finish grating. Into a sieve, grate potatoes and onion onto the star-shaped hole on grater, taking turns. Onion juice will prevent potatoes from browning. Dispose most of the potato juice from bowl underneath the sieve, but do not wash the potato starch. Keep the potato starch and add the grated potatoes and onions to the bowl with starch.
- Add 3 tbsp all-purpose flour, 1 egg, 1 tsp fine salt and 1/4 tsp baking soda into the potato mixture. Mix well until incorporated. Potato batter will be thick, but still liquid enough to spoon.
- Heat 2-3 tbsp of grapeseed oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of potato mixture to make pancakes, about 1" apart. Fry on each side until golden brown (about 3-4 mins each side). Repeat the same procedure for the remaining batter. Serve deruny warm with a dollop of sour cream.
