🕒 Total Time: 25 minutes
🛒 Ingredients:
- 2 russet potatoes
- 1 onion
- 1 cup toasted wheat germ
- 2 teaspoons ground pepper
- Salt to taste
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, grate 2 russet potatoes and 1 onion. Add 1 cup of toasted wheat germ, 2 teaspoons of ground pepper, and salt to taste. Mix all ingredients thoroughly to form a batter.
- Prepare Baking Sheets: Coat two baking sheets with oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Shape the Latkes: Drop 1/4-cup cupfuls of the batter onto the prepared sheets. Use the back of your dampened hand to press the pancakes down, shaping them evenly.
- Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- Flip and Continue Baking: After 15 minutes, carefully turn the latkes over using a spatula. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the latkes are browned all over but not blackened at the edges.
- Serve: Remove the latkes from the oven and serve hot. They pair perfectly with either applesauce or sour cream.
