Fuczki are fried like Placki ziemniaczane (Potato Fritters with Rosemary and Horseradish Sauce) but made with sauerkraut. The most important ingredient is good, naturally pickled cabbage. First, the sauerkraut should be well drained, then chopped and mixed with the batter.  The pancakes that result are tangy, crispy on the outside but pleasantly chewy on the inside, just like the ones I used to eat during family trips to the Bieszczady mountains, where they come from.
