Step 1

In a big bowl, mix together the chickpeas, 0.75 cups of panko, the red potato, red onion, garlic, egg, a tablespoon of olive oil, fresh cilantro, a teaspoon of lemon juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Shape the blend into patties measuring 2 inches. Put 0.25 cups of panko into a shallow dish, then carefully press each patty into the breadcrumbs to coat.
