Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

18 ounces white potatoes (about 3 medium)
3/4 cup chopped leek (white and pale green parts only)
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 1/4 cups drained canned garbanzo beans (chickpeas; about 1 1/2 15-ounce cans)
3 large garlic cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon baking powder 3 tablespoons plus additional all purpose flour
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Red Bell Pepper Harissa

Steps:

  • Cook potatoes in pot of boiling salted water until tender. Drain; refrigerate until cold,about 30 minutes.
  • Peel potatoes; grate coarsely into large bowl. Mix in leek and cilantro.
  • Blend garbanzo beans, garlic, cumin, salt, pepper and baking powder in processor until almost smooth. Stir into potato mixture. Mix in 3 tablespoons flour. Using floured hands, shape 2 rounded tablespoons mixture into ball; flatten into 1/2-inch -thick disk, about 2 inches in diameter. Place on lightly floured baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture, forming about 24 fritters. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Sprinkle lightly with flour. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Pour enough oil into 2 heavy large skillets to reach depth of 1/4 inch. Heat over medium heat until sprinkle of water sizzles in oil. Coat each fritter with flour. Fry fritters until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels; drain.
  • Overlap 3 fritters on each plate. Spoon Red Bell Pepper Harissa alongside.

I've made these fritters several times and they're always a hit. They're a great way to use up leftover garbanzo beans.

I'm not a fan of frying food, so I baked these fritters instead. They were still good, but not as crispy.

I'm allergic to chickpeas, so I used white beans instead. They worked just as well.

I used sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes and they turned out great. I also added a bit of chopped cilantro to the batter.

I'm not a big fan of harissa, so I omitted it from the recipe. The fritters were still delicious.

These fritters were a bit bland. I think I would add some more seasonings next time.

I had some trouble getting the fritters to stay together. I think I might have added too much liquid.

These fritters were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less harissa next time.

These fritters were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the harissa sauce was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making these again.
