Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Cheesecloth or Kitchen Towel
  • Nonstick Skillet

Ingredients
  

Cauliflower Hash Browns Base

  • 1 medium head cauliflower or 4 cups florets, fresh or frozen
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp almond flour or breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese optional

Optional Ingredients

  • diced onions for sweetness
  • chopped parsley for a fresh, herby kick
  • crushed garlic for added flavor

Seasonings

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika

Instructions
 

  • Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.
  • Transfer to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture to ensure crispy hash browns.
  • In a bowl, mix the drained cauliflower with eggs, almond flour, parmesan (if using), and seasonings. Stir to combine.
  • Shape the mixture into small patties, about 3 inches wide.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil.
  • Cook each hash brown for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite dip or as a side dish.

Notes

For extra crispiness, let the patties rest in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before frying. You can also cook them in a waffle iron for a fun twist!
