• 4 medium potatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup sour cream

Method

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes and finely chopped onion. Mix well until evenly combined.

2. 2

   Add the beaten eggs, flour, salt, and black pepper to the potato mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.

3. 3

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking.

4. 4

   Using a spoon, drop portions of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly to form pancakes. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

5. 5

   Once cooked, transfer the deruny onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

6. 6

   Serve the deruny hot, accompanied by a dollop of sour cream on the side.
