Keto Cauliflower Mock Potato Cakes
Ingredients:
1 cup cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 egg
1 tablespoon almond flour
1/2 cup minced spinach (or substitute with bacon bits)
Keto-approved cooking oil (e.g., avocado oil, bacon grease)
Instructions:
Prepare Cauliflower Rice: If using fresh cauliflower, grate or pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice-sized pieces. If using frozen cauliflower rice, thaw and drain excess moisture.
Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine cauliflower rice, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, egg, almond flour, and minced spinach (or bacon bits). Mix until well combined.
Form Patties: Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add keto-approved cooking oil (about 2 tablespoons).
Cook Patties: Form the cauliflower mixture into patties and carefully place them in the hot pan. Fry on each side until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Serve: Once cooked through and crispy, remove the mock potato cakes from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Enjoy: Serve hot as a delicious keto-friendly side dish or snack. These mock potato cakes are packed with flavor and perfect for satisfying your cravings without the carbs
