How many calories are in draniki
100 g of fried draniki contain about 178 kcal: 3.6 g of protein, 9.6 g of fat and 19.6 g of carbs. One 60 g pancake is about 107 kcal, and a serving of three is 320 kcal. For comparison, the same amount of boiled potato is about 150 kcal, so the frying pan doubles the calories.
Why draniki soak up oil
Grated potato is porous and works like a sponge: the more oil in the pan and the lower the heat, the more of it stays in the pancakes. A well-heated pan, a thin layer of oil and a paper towel after frying help - the towel absorbs up to a third of the excess fat.
Oven-baked draniki
Draniki baked on parchment in the oven or in an air fryer are about 100 kcal lighter per serving. The crust is thinner, but the potato flavor is brighter. Sour cream adds about 50 kcal for two spoons, and cracklings up to 140 kcal. Kolduny, draniki with a meat filling, have more calories but give a proper serving of protein.
Draniki on a diet
Draniki are mostly carbs and fat, with only 6.5 g of protein per serving, so they are not an ideal main dish on a diet. If you crave them, bake them in the oven and serve with a protein side: Greek yogurt, a cottage cheese dip, a piece of fish or chicken.
How to count your draniki
The thickness and size of draniki strongly affect how much oil they absorb, so 178 kcal per 100 g is an average. Take a photo of your plate in MyFoodMate AI and the app will estimate the serving together with the sour cream.
