Hash Browns! What a perfect side to any breakfast, but when I started a low carb lifestyle I had to create a way to substitute the potatoes that I loved so much since childhood. Whelp, I must say this is definitely an amazing delicious substitute! Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Ingredients
12 ounce pkg. Frozen Riced Cauliflower (liquid removed)
1/2 cup dry Parmesan Cheese (I used Kraft)
1 large Egg
1/4 tsp Onion Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
Oil for pan frying
Instructions
Cook the cauliflower according to the package and drain out all the liquid, making the cauliflower rice as dry as possible. Allow the cauliflower to cool a bit before making the hash browns.
Place the cauliflower, parmesan cheese, egg, onion powder and salt & pepper in a medium bowl and stir together until well combined. Form 4 patties out of the cauliflower mixture and put them on a plate.
Place a large skillet on the stove top. Turn the burner on medium heat and add some oil to the pan until it is melted and hot.
Fry the cauliflower patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the patties from the pan and enjoy.

Note: I bought my organic riced cauliflower from Costco which comes in 4 individual 12 ounce microwave bags. Once I cook a bag according to the instruction I poke a few holes in the bag and press all the liquid out of the cauliflower. This seems to be an easier process to get most of the liquid out of the cauliflower.
