Method:

Cover with film and let stand 5-7 minutes, shaking from time to time (to drain juice). Discard the collected potato juice and transfer potatoes to a bowl. Add egg and flour and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Warm vegetable oil in a skillet. Spoon batter, 1 tbsp per dranik, generously spaced and fry on both sides at medium heat until golden-brown. Serve with smetana or sour cream.
