Instructions:
Prepare the Cauliflower:
Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower. Cut it into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice (or you can use pre-riced cauliflower).
Steam the Cauliflower:
Steam the riced cauliflower for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Let it cool slightly, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. This step is crucial to getting crispy hash browns.
Mix Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, egg, cheese, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Form Patties:
Take a small amount of the mixture and form it into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Cook the Hash Browns:
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil or cooking spray.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Serve:
Once cooked, transfer the hash browns to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish.
Tips:
For extra flavor, you can add spices like paprika or cayenne pepper.
These hash browns can be frozen; just reheat in the oven or skillet when ready to eat.
