You don't have to use powdered mix to make your own falafel! Mashed chickpeas are combined with onion, bread crumbs, egg and herbs, and fried. Serve with the cucumber sauce in a pita with tomatoes.
These easy-to-prepare potatoes cook up tender and buttery on the stove, and they go so well with Mom's fried fish. I like using red potatoes because they have a little sweetness to them.
