Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 (15oz) can cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium russet potato (about 1/2 lb)
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2–3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Instructions
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook over medium heat until just able to be pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes.
- Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, cooking for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the onion is softened.
- Add the garlic, cumin, pepper, paprika, and celery seed and continue to cook for one minute.
- Drain the potatoes, reserving a small amount of the liquid.
- In a large bowl, combine the onion and spice mixture, chickpeas, cooked potato, almond flour, chopped parsley, and salt. Mash together using a potato masher or a large fork until the chickpeas are broken up and everything is starting to come together. (Another option is to blend this in a food processor for 10-15 seconds.)
- If the mixture is too dry, add some of the reserved liquid from the potatoes 1 tablespoon at a time. If the mixture is too soft, add more almond flour as needed.
- Form the mixture into 6 patties.
- Options for cooking:
Oven Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment.
- Brush the patties with olive oil and bake for 12-14 minutes on the first side until golden brown. Flip and cook for 10 minutes on the second side.
Stovetop Directions:
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a large frying pan or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
- Cook 2-3 patties at a time for about 3 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms.
