Instructions:

Dissolve yeast in liquid: Start by dissolving the active dry yeast in milk, then add the egg and oil. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined.
-
Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the potatoes, salt, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, and finely chopped onion until everything is evenly incorporated. This will form a thick, batter-like consistency.
-
Let rise: Allow the batter to rest and rise for about 30 minutes. This step helps to develop the flavors and texture of the pancakes, resulting in a light and fluffy end product.
-
Cook the latkes: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or a dry Teflon pan over medium heat. Spoon the batter onto the hot surface, using about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until equally browned and crispy.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once cooked to perfection, transfer the potato latkes to a serving plate. Serve them warm and enjoy their delicious flavor either on their own or with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
