Step 1:
How to make lean potato pancakes without eggs? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Peel the potatoes and onions and rinse them in running water from dirt.
Step 2:
Grate the peeled potatoes on a fine or medium grater. If there is a food processor, it is convenient to rub with it, with a nozzle "grater". Put all the grated potatoes in a spacious bowl so that it is convenient to mix the potato mass.
Step 3:
Grate the peeled onion on a medium grater. You can just chop it very finely with a knife. Add the chopped onion to the bowl with the grated potatoes.
Step 4:
Add a little salt and spices to taste. As spices, I recommend using dried herbs and ground black pepper.
Step 5:
Add a little flour for density. Mix the whole mass well so that all the ingredients are evenly mixed with each other. If liquid is formed from potatoes, then it must be drained.
Step 6:
Heat the frying pan to a hot state and pour a little vegetable oil on it. Spoon a little potato mass into a hot frying pan and fry over medium heat for a couple of minutes.
Step 7:
Then turn the pancakes over with a spatula and fry them on the other side until golden brown. Make sure not to overcook.
Step 8:
Serve ready-made draniki hot, supplemented with a small amount of sour cream. To remove excess fat from them, you can spread them from the pan on a paper towel. Bon appetit!

Draniki turn out perfectly without eggs. Thanks to a small amount of flour, they keep their shape perfectly. The smaller the potatoes are grated, the potato mass will be more homogeneous, respectively, and the pancakes will be more tender and more similar to potato pancakes.
Sour cream is an excellent addition to draniki, but you can prepare any sauce. Garlic sauce can be a great addition. An additional side dish to them is not required, since they themselves are an independent dish.
Draniki are to the taste of a lot of people and every housewife has her own recipe for cooking them.

Root vegetables are best washed with a brush or a hard sponge under running water.

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
