Easy Cauliflower Fritters

Recipe Description

These Easy Cauliflower Fritters are a fantastic lunch or light dinner recipe. They are a really delicious way to use cauliflower. I usually make a double batch of these fritters. Someone always asks for seconds, and if there are any leftovers, I like to reheat them for lunch the next day.

To make these, start by boiling cauliflower and potatoes. Drain well and mash in a large bowl. Add flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, pepper, and parsley, combine well. Add oil to a medium-sized frying pan and heat over medium heat. Use about 2 heaping spoonfuls of batter for each fritter. Drop the mixture into the pan and flatten using the bottom of the spoon. Cook on medium heat until browned on both sides. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and serve immediately.

To make Easy Cauliflower Fritters, you will need the following ingredients:
