Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Cauliflower florets
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
- 3 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until tender. Drain and allow the florets to cool slightly.
Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much water as possible, ensuring the cauliflower is dry.
Place the squeezed cauliflower in a large mixing bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher until broken into small pieces.
Add the eggs, all-purpose flour, Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of the mixture into your hands and form it into a small patty. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Carefully place the patties in the hot oil, cooking them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry each side for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the latkes warm with sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired.
