- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (or to taste)
- 2 -3 tablespoons minced onions, minced (optional)

directions
- Cook the cauliflower for about 6-8 minutes or until soft enough to mash; drain very well.
- Place the cauliflower in a large bowl and mash with a fork.
- Add in the eggs and all the remaining ingredients; mix to combine (adjust all seasonings and hot sauce to taste, if you find that the mixture is too wet then add in a little more flour).
- Heat a small amount of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Working in batches drop about a heaping tablespoonful of batter into hot oil; brown one side then turn and brown the other side (about 3 minutes per side).
- Remove to a paper towel.
- Repeat with remaining batter, adding in a little more oil if needed.
- Serve with sour cream.

This was a great, different recipe for cauliflower (I have never made patties out of it before). It was simple to put together, and crisp and tasty. I don't like paprika so I omitted that. I used a lot more onion than specified in the recipe and also had to increase the flour a tad. I added some sharp cheddar to the last batch I fried and it was so yummy with that too.

I was distracted with company and.... um....wine, while I was making these and I thought the recipe called for 1 cauliflower.. I had chopped about 1/2 a head of cauliflower before my husband reread the recipe to me.. so I used all that I had chopped. They turned out GREAT!! So everytime I make them now, I use approx. 1/2 a head of chopped cauliflower instead of 1 cup. They are super light and not doughy at all. My family and friends all use my altered recipe. Thanks ��

I made these for a side with dinner and they tasted absolutely delicious. I did what other reviewers suggested and added some grated cheddar cheese. The only issue I had was they were really flimsy. I could have added more flour but I already had about 1/4 cup added - based on how many tbsp I kept adding. I didn't add more because I didn't want them to be too "floury" tasting. I made sure the cauliflower dried out after steaming it (I even put it all in a pan on the stove to help evaporate any moisture). But besides that, they were soooo tasty. I will be making this again and maybe figure out what I can do to make them not fall apart so easily.
