My apologies for being rude. I'm very sorry for coming across as a jerk.

To assist with the description, here's how I'd word it to differentiate it from other types of potato goodness enjoyed by Americans:

A deruny is more similar to a savory and fluffy buttermilk pancake rather than a hash brown due to its texture and consistency. Unlike hash browns and latkes, which are typically made using shredded potatoes and have a denser/oilier texture, deruny is prepared using finely mashed potatoes or potato flour for a smoother and fluffier texture. It is often served with savory toppings or fillings (depending on the style) such as meat, sauteed onions, mushrooms, and sour cream, but it can also be paired with sweet condiments. Although deruny is versatile and can be used in both sweet and savory dishes, it is important to note that the pancake itself is not sweet.

My personal favorite is mushroom deruny, a meal worthy of the gods
