Cook: 24 minutes • Serves: 16

1. In small bowl, stir yogurt and dill. In medium bowl, whisk eggs; add potatoes, cheese and spinach and stir until well blended. Add flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixture holds together (you may not need all the flour).

2. Form potato mixture into 16 cakes and place on rimmed baking pan. In batches, lightly coat potato cakes with breadcrumbs, patting so breadcrumbs adhere.

3. In large nonstick skillet, in batches, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. With spatula, transfer 4 cakes to skillet. Cook cakes about 3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Transfer cakes to paper towels to drain; keep warm.
