Whole wheat adds fiber and nutrients.

Grate the potatoes and onions into a large bowl.

Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated potatoes.

Add flour, eggs, salt, and black pepper to the bowl and mix well.

Incorporate chopped smoked bacon into the mixture.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
