1
Prep the vegetables, herbs, and lemon
Knife
Cutting Board
Colander
Zester

Peel and dice the potatoes, rinse and drain the chickpeas, chop the baby spinach and dill, mince the garlic, and zest and juice the lemon.

Keep fingers clear of the knife and zester while prepping the vegetables, herbs, garlic, and lemon.

1 Pound potatoes
1 Can chickpeas
2 Cup spinach
1/4 Cup dill
2 Count garlic
1 Each lemon
2
Boil the potatoes
Colander
Medium pot

Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 10 to 12 minutes, then drain well.

Use caution when draining hot potatoes to avoid steam burns.

1 Pound potatoes
3
Mash the base
Large mixing bowl
Potato masher

Add the hot potatoes to a large bowl with the chickpeas. Mash until mostly smooth with some chickpea texture remaining.

1 Pound potatoes
1 Can chickpeas
4
Mix the cake mixture
Large mixing bowl
Measuring cups and spoons

Stir in the spinach, breadcrumbs, dill, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the mixture holds together when pressed and looks moist but not wet.

2 Cup spinach
3/4 Cup breadcrumbs
1/4 Cup dill
1 Tablespoon dijon mustard
1 Each lemon
2 Count garlic
3/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper
5
Shape the patties
Measuring cups and spoons

Divide the mixture into 8 portions and shape into patties about 1/2 inch thick. Press firmly so the cakes stay together during cooking.

6
Pan-fry the cakes
Spatula
Large skillet

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the cakes in a single layer and cook until deep golden and crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.

Keep the skillet at medium heat so the cakes crisp without scorching.

Turn the cakes gently with a spatula to prevent oil splatter.

3 Tablespoon olive oil
7
Rest and serve
Spatula

Transfer the cakes to a plate and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving with the remaining lemon juice.
