Begin by grating the cauliflower florets using a grater or a food processor until they resemble rice grains.
Transfer the grated cauliflower into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, eggs, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped chives.
Add the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture and stir until everything is well incorporated.
Heat the coconut oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the cauliflower mixture and form it into a small patty using your hands.
Carefully place the patties into the hot pan, being sure not to overcrowd. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked pancakes onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the Kartoffelpuffer warm, optionally topped with a dollop of sour cream.
