Classic Belarusian Draniki with Sour Cream

Method

1. Grate the potatoes and place them in a bowl of cold water. Let sit for 10 minutes, then drain and squeeze out excess moisture.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, egg, flour, onion, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the potatoes evenly.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the skillet and flatten into patties.
4. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
5. Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of dill if using.
