Draniki are a great option for lunch or dinner, as the dish is filling and tasty.
It is unlikely that anyone would refuse a portion of such a treat.
However, sometimes we encounter the fact that the potatoes start to darken in the process. We don’t want to cook with such an unattractive vegetable.
What should be added to the preparation so that the color of the potatoes remains pleasant?
Keep the tubers in water
You won't have to add anything to the preparation itself if you first soak the peeled potatoes in a container with cold water. You only need to wait for about ten minutes.
Enough amount of onion
This component is added not only for juiciness, pleasant taste and characteristic aroma of the finished dish. Onions are able to preserve the color of potatoes if added in sufficient quantities.
As a rule, one medium-sized onion is taken for half a kilo of potatoes.
Sour cream
If you want the potato pancakes not to darken, to be tasty and even to acquire a golden hue, then simply add a couple of spoons of sour cream to the preparation.
Lemon juice
Some people worry that this component will affect the taste of potato pancakes, but this is not true. One small spoon of lemon juice added to the preparation will simply help preserve the potato's pleasant color.
