Chickpea potato patties are a delightful blend of flavors, making them a perfect snack or appetizer, packed with protein and fiber.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
- Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Begin by boiling the cubed potatoes in salted water until they are tender. Once done, drain them and let cool slightly.

- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the patties in the oil.
- Fry the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown.
- Serve your chickpea potato patties warm, garnished with fresh herbs, if desired, and alongside a dipping sauce of your choice.
