Were they made with matzo or flour?  With onions?  It sounds really good. 

Spanish and Mexican cooks make something similar (maybe the same), called tortitas, with any kind of chopped vegetable.  They’re delicious.  For tortitas de coliflor, cook the cauliflower florets till tender, mash them, add some dried breadcrumbs, an egg, some salt and pepper, and some minced onion.  Then shape them into little patties and fry them up.  Some people crumble some queso fresco or panela into the mix.  A lot of people use pulverized saltines instead if breadcrumbs, but if you do, watch the salt!  Matzo meal would be equally good, maybe better.
