Think it should be ok. I've read not to plant them together because zucchini's need more water than potatoes and if you water potatoes too much they rot.

I've just planted zucchini where my potatoes used to be... I don't think it's a problem because they aren't from the same family so shouldn't have the same diseases, nutrient needs, etc. :) Hope that helps!
