1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and mashed with fork
¾ cup panko bread crumbs
1 small unpeeled red potato, shredded
¼ cup diced red onion
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 egg
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

Combine chickpeas, 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs, red potato, red onion, garlic, egg, 1 tablespoon olive oil, cilantro, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
