I'm not a huge fan of chickpeas, but these latkes were surprisingly good. I would definitely make them again.

I'm allergic to chickpeas. Can I substitute another bean?

Has anyone tried baking these latkes instead of frying them?

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my latkes turned out really greasy. I think I might have used too much oil.

These latkes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.

These latkes were absolutely delicious! I made them for dinner last night and my family loved them. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the flavor was amazing. I will definitely be making these again.
