How to Make Syrniki With Potato

  1. Boil 2 large peeled and cubed potatoes in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain well and mash thoroughly.
  2. Drain the cottage cheese and press it through a sieve to remove any lumps. Combine the mashed potatoes and cottage cheese in a large bowl.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar (adjust to your preferred sweetness).
  4. Gradually add 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, mixing until a stiff, but workable dough forms.
  5. Lightly flour a clean surface. Shape the dough into thick pancakes, approximately 3 inches in diameter.
  6. Coat the pancakes lightly with flour. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the Syrniki until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
  7. Serve the hot Syrniki immediately, topped with a dollop of well-chilled sour cream, if desired.
