Servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound zucchini, shredded
- 2 cups shredded cooked potato (see Tip)
- 2 medium shallots, minced, divided
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 cups fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs (see Tip)
- 1/2 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 1/2 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and shredded
- 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
Directions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Toss zucchini, potato, 3 tablespoons shallot and egg in a large bowl. Add breadcrumbs, feta, 1 tablespoon dill, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss to combine. Form the mixture into 12 patties.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 6 patties, cover and cook until crispy and browned on one side, 2 to 5 minutes. Carefully transfer the latkes to the prepared pan, browned-side down. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and patties.
- Transfer the latkes to the oven and bake until firm and heated through, 10=12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare tzatziki: Combine yogurt, cucumber, vinegar, the remaining minced shallot, 1 tablespoon dill and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Serve the latkes with the tzatziki on the side.
Tips
1. Shredded, cooked potatoes can be found in the refrigerated produce section or dairy section of most supermarkets.
2. To make fresh breadcrumbs: Trim crusts from firm sandwich bread. Tear bread into pieces and process in a food processor into coarse crumbs. One slice makes about 1/3 cup crumbs.
