Peel the potatoes and cut into large chunks. Boil in salted water until tender. Drain and blend with the pita bread in a blender. Add the chickpeas, shallot, coriander, and spice mix and blend until smooth, adding a little oil if desired. Lightly oil your hands and shape the mixture around 6 popsicle sticks.
