Preheat oven to 425° F. In a large mixing bowl, blend ingredients well using wooden spoon or hands. Coat two baking sheets with oil. Drop 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto prepared sheets and press down. Bake for 15 minutes, turn, then bake 10 minutes longer, or until browned. Serve with applesauce or sour cream.

GITTI - Substituting for wheat germ
You need wheat germ, or something similar, to thicken the batter.
You can try whole grain or white bread crumbs. Cracker crumbs or matzo meal (there is also whole wheat matzo meal) works, too.
Matzo meal is actually the traditional addition and you will see it in many recipes.

answers I use the potatoes raw and substitute flour for wheat germ. They turn out great! Reply
Raw potatoes- All the recipes I have for latkes use grated raw potatoes- I assume this will be the same. Good luck! Reply
No fry latkes- Oy, vay. It doesn't say what to do with the potatoes. Do you cook them first and mash them, or do you grate them raw? Reply
Can I leave out the wheat germ or if not with what can it be substituted? Reply
GITTI You can add cooked organic millet as a thickener
