Baked potato pancakes in pots: how to prepare a familiar dish in a new way

We are used to frying traditional potato pancakes (deruny) in a pan. Therefore, the dish can turn out a bit greasy. To prevent this from happening and make the pancakes juicy and soft, you can bake them.

The idea of baked potato pancakes in pots was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Eduard Nasirov (my_happyfood).
