Recipe for Yeasted Potato Pancakes?

There are lots of yeasted pancake recipes but not for yeasted potato ones. Does anyone have one? Not looking for potato bread/loaf recipes which would be more floury and bready than pancakes...
Thanks

    Potato pancakes (a typical German dish) aren't "pancakes" in the sense of American breakfast pancakes so I'm not sure what you're hoping for. But, you could try this:

    1 cup warm milk (not greater than 110 degrees)
    1 pound potatoes (peeled, washed and finely shredded with most of the liquid squeezed out)
    2 tablespoons sugar
    1/2 packet active dry yeast
    2 eggs, beaten
    1 cup AP flour
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup melted butter

    Dissolve the yeast in a mixture of the mile and sugar. Stir to ensure it's completely dissolved.
    Set aside for 7 - 10 minutes until it's nice and bubbly.
    Add the remaining ingredients and mix until smooth.
    Set aside in warm place in a covered bowl until it begins to get puffy, then brush butter onto your grill or skillet and ladle on about two tablespoons of the batter and spread into a thin even layer. Cook on first side until brown, flip and cook other side.
    Serve with apple sauce.
    Note: You may wish to adjust the flour to milk ratio to achieve the thickness of batter you want to work with.

      I'm having a hard time imagining what these are like. I love regular potato pancakes/latkes but what is a yeasted one like?
