Zucchini Patties With Feta

2 1/2 cups coarsely grated zucchini (from about 3 medium)
1 tsp salt, divided
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1/2 cup (or more) all purpose flour
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 1/2 Tbs chopped fresh dill
1/2 cup (about) olive oil
1/2 cup (about) corn oil
Plain Greek yogurt

1) Toss zucchini and 1/2 teaspoon salt in large bowl. Let stand 5 minutes. Transfer to sieve. Press out excess liquid; place zucchini in dry bowl. Mix in egg, yolk, 1/2 cup flour, cheese, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix in parsley, onions, and dill. If batter is very wet, add more flour by spoonfuls.
2) Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons corn oil in large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop batter by rounded tablespoonfuls into skillet. Fry patties until golden, 5 minutes per side, adding more olive oil and corn oil as needed. Transfer to paper towels. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Place on baking sheet, cover, and chill. Rewarm uncovered in 350°F oven 12 minutes. Serve with yogurt.

Review: These were a pain to make, especially with the step of sweating the zucchini. To make it worse, they surprisingly had little flavor. I was super disappointed. The highlight was the greek yogurt, which is still my new favorite thing. And, I bought too much just so I could have some with honey. Yum.
