I just sent this via the IHOP.com “contact us” form:

Today was the first time I have visited IHOP in several weeks, and I noticed that you have a new menu. I was pleased to see you have added Chocolate Chip Pancakes to the menu, but I was quite dismayed to find that the Potato Pancakes are no longer available. I have not found these at any other major breakfast chain (Denny’s, Bob Evans, etc) and they were a major reason I chose IHOP over other chains. I still enjoy the rest of IHOP’s menu but I am very sorry to see the potato pancakes gone.

I guess I will have to start making latkes at home…IHOP’s potato pancakes were never anything like homemade latkes, but they were certainly easier!
