Also known as: Деруни
Ukrainian potato-and-onion pancakes served warm with sour cream.

About Deruny
Olga Nagorna's Ukrainian deruny come from a recipe passed from her grandmother to her mother and then to her. These potato-and-onion pancakes are a familiar dish in her family.
Yukon Gold potatoes and yellow onion provide the main flavour. Egg and all-purpose flour bind the mixture, while the baking soda recalls her mother's preference for a fluffier pancake.
The small golden pancakes are served warm with a dollop of sour cream. Their potato character and browned surface contrast with the tangy dairy accompaniment.
