Russian ricotta pancakes

In fact, this syrniki that I ate, it was made with ricotta cheese. As a result, the pancakes were delicious, creamy and soft served with sour cream and the sweet caramel sauce and blueberries, certainly very tasty.
Draniki

Another russian dish that I tried in the restaurant dreamers. It was draniki what means potato pancake which consist in grated potatoes, mixed with flour, eggs, garlic and onion. Although it is not sweet, rather salty.
However, in this place they made the draniki totally different. Indeed, the ingredients are not mixed together as pancakes then they are cooked separately. Besides served with bacon, sour cream and russian sauerkraut.
As as result, I loved it. Surely a great dish
