Here are a couple of highly-rated recipes from [allrecipes.com](http://allrecipes.com): **Carrot Patties** 1 pound carrots, grated 1 clove garlic, minced 4 eggs 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup bread crumbs or matzo meal 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 pinch ground black pepper 2 tablespoons vegetable oil In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, garlic, eggs, flour, bread crumbs, salt and black pepper; mix well. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Make the mixture into patties, and fry until golden brown on each side. **Vegetable Patties** 2 baking potatoes, peeled and cubed 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1/2 cup frozen green peas, thawed 2 fresh green chile peppers salt to taste 1/4 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice 1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes; drain. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, heat oil and add cumin seeds. As they begin to sputter add turmeric and coriander, then potatoes, peas and green chile peppers. Stir in salt and chili powder; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. Roll out crescent dough; fill each roll with potato mixture and form into patties. Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until evenly browned.
