- 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

- 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 1/2 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and shredded
- 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
- Preheat oven to 450u0b0 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 to 12 minutes.

- TIPS & NOTES
- Note: Shredded cooked potatoes can be found in the refrigerated produce section or dairy section of most supermarkets.
- Tip: 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.
