EatingWell Zucchini Potato Latkes with Tzatziki - 7 pts WW

1 pound zucchini, shredded

2 cups shredded cooked potato (see Note)

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

 

 

 

 

1. Preheat oven to 450° F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Transfer the latkes to the oven and bake until firm and heated

through, 10 to 12 minutes.

5. 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.
