Draniki are popular potato pancakes, recipes for which can be found all over the world. With chicken breast, the dish will become more satisfying, aromatic and tasty. There are several ways to prepare potato pancakes (another popular name). Meat can be used as a filling, added directly to vegetable mixtures, and even made into a food visually similar to pizza.

For the dough, cooks chop potatoes in different ways: some use the smallest side of the grater, others prefer the coarsest side, and in Sineoka they sell a special device for making potato pancakes. But everyone makes a lot of things differently, and the 3 most popular options are known:

Tarkovaya , where the grated vegetable is used together with the extracted juice.
Bladed , when the potato mixture is squeezed out.

Whatever recipe the housewife uses, she must know that the dish must be served hot. Pancakes that have cooled or heated lose their texture and taste.

Step-by-step recipe with photos

Earlier I already told you how to cook. Today I will slightly modify the recipe and prepare these potato cutlets with meat filling inside - pancakes with minced chicken.

Since the chicken itself is a bit dry, add a little lard to the fillet. Well, in general we make minced meat in the same way as for cutlets.

The dough for potato pancakes can be prepared on a grater with the smallest holes or with the help of our kitchen assistants. I grate potatoes in an electric meat grinder, which has a special attachment for potato pancakes. It’s quick and convenient, the onions and potatoes are ground into a homogeneous mass, there are no hard pieces in the finished product, the potato pancakes are soft and tender.

I'll start by preparing the minced meat. In order to more fully use the capabilities of an electric meat grinder, I will make a lot of minced meat, both for cutlets and potato pancakes. It is difficult to say exactly how much minced meat will be needed for potato pancakes. This will depend on how much filling we put in each potato patty. I put a little in so that the minced meat is guaranteed to be fried, so for half a kilo of peeled potatoes, 200 g of minced meat is enough for me.

We pass the chicken fillet through a meat grinder together with garlic and onions twice. Add salt and pepper to the prepared minced meat to taste.

I'll mix it well.

I’ll change the attachment on the combine and grate the potatoes.

I’ll immediately put the onions through a meat grinder.

I will add an egg to the potato mixture (approximately add 1 egg per 500 g of potatoes), salt and pepper. If anyone likes it, you can add a few cloves of garlic.

Mix. The dough for potato pancakes is ready.

Pour refined sunflower oil into a frying pan, put it on the fire and heat it up. Place 1 tablespoon of dough into the pan and spread it into a thin layer. If the pan is heated, the mass will immediately begin to “set.”

We take a small piece of minced meat (a little larger than a walnut), roll it out in our hands, and give it a flat shape. We place these thin layers of minced meat on potato pancakes.

Cover the top with another spoonful of dough. We fry slowly so that the minced meat does not remain raw inside our potato pancake.

Ready-made pancakes with minced chicken go well with sour cream, mushroom sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise, etc.
