Cauliflower Fritters
Ingredients
- 1 pound cauliflower (approximately 1 head)
- 1 pound potatoes
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup flour
- 1/3 cup green onions, chopped
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup parsley
- 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons chives
Preparation
- Peel and quarter the potatoes, then shred them finely. Chop off the individual florets of the cauliflower and run them through a food processor, pulsing until they're pea-sized.
- In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower and potatoes together. Add the onion, eggs, flour, green onions, salt, pepper, parsley and cheese, and mix thoroughly.
- Heat olive oil in a flat-bottomed skillet and preheat the oven to 250º F.
- Form 3-inch patties from the cauliflower mixture and place them in hot oil. Cook each patty for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden-brown and crunchy.
- Place each finished patty on a baking sheet, and place baking sheet in the oven to keep patties warm. Snip chives over the top of the patties, and serve them immediately with sour cream.
