Tips:
- For the best results, use dried chickpeas that have been soaked overnight. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- If you don't have time to soak the chickpeas overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 5 minutes, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Once the chickpeas are cooked, drain them well and mash them until they are mostly smooth. You can use a potato masher or a food processor for this.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the mashed chickpeas and mix until well combined. The mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape when formed into patties.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a thin layer of oil. Once the oil is hot, drop the chickpea mixture into the skillet by rounded tablespoons, flattening them slightly with a spatula.
- Cook the latkes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the latkes hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tzatziki or tahini sauce.
