Herbed Spinach Latkes with Feta-Yogurt Sauce

Packed with fresh herbs, these little fritters bring a beguiling whiff of springtime to wintry Hanukkah celebrations. The latkes make wonderful cocktail fare, or prepare slightly larger ones and pair with soup and a big salad for a light dinner, or fish, for a more substantial meal. The versatile piquant sauce, a variation of one I partner with mamaliga, brings sparkle to raw and cooked vegetables, lentils, and mixed green salads.
