Russian Chefs Attempts Biggest Potatoe Pancake

Some Russian chefs attempted to break the record for the biggest potato pancake at a festival dedicated to the traditional delicacy. the pancake, called “Dranik” in Russian, is a traditional dish of Belarusian origin. Festival organizers hoped this would be the year that they would break the record for the biggest potato pancake. Belarusian cooks set the record in March 2016 with a six-and-a-half-foot-diameter potato pancake. Unfortunately, the Russian attempt was thwarted by the freezing weather. The stove they planned to fry the giant pancake in broke down in the below-zero temperatures. Local chefs weren’t going to let the cold weather get in the way of the fun. They found several smaller stoves and fried an impressive 15-hundred regular-sized pancakes, much to the delight of the visitors.
