How to Make Greek Herbed Spinach Latkes With Feta Yogurt Sauce

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy medium skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/4 cup chopped green onions and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  3. Sauté until onions are soft, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add 10 ounces of fresh spinach and sauté until all liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to cool completely.
  6. In a food processor, pulse 2 cups of challah bread into fine crumbs.
  7. Add the cooled spinach mixture and 2 tablespoons of fresh dill. Pulse on/off until spinach is finely chopped, but not pureed.
  8. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Mix in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
  11. In a heavy large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
  12. Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the hot skillet, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon. Work in batches.
  13. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
  14. Transfer latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  15. Add more butter and oil to the skillet as needed between batches.
  16. Serve immediately, passing the feta-yogurt sauce separately.
  17. To make the Feta Yogurt Sauce:
  18. Mash 4 ounces of feta cheese with a fork in a small bowl.
  19. Stir in 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of fresh dill, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  20. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  21. Let the sauce stand for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
