Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium cauliflower head
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into small florets and grate it using a box grater or pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.
Place the grated cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to prevent soggy hash browns.
Transfer the drained cauliflower to a mixing bowl and add the egg, shredded cheddar cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix everything together until a thick batter forms.
Shape the mixture into small patties, about 3 inches in diameter, and set them aside on a plate.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place the cauliflower patties into the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook in batches.
Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crisp, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
Remove the cooked hash browns from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve immediately, garnished with your choice of fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Enjoy!
