1 head cauliflower, cut into florets, trimmed of as much of the stems off as close as possible
2 large russet potato, peeled and cut into 1″ cubes boiled and mashed
1/4 cup sour cream
1 clove of chopped garlic minced fine
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, oregano, parsley, and basil
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon each, salt and pepper
1 container or package of Italian flavored breadcrumbs or panko
Fill a large pot with water and boil cauliflower and potatoes till tender. Drain well and add to a large bowl. Add sour cream, parmesan, herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper, and add to the food processor, heavy-duty mixer with a flat beat bar or even by hand until smooth and well-combined but still a little chunky.
Roll into Italian flavored breadcrumbs.
Drop on a piece of parchment paper in mounds. You can also place them into oil sprayed cupcake tins topped with Italian flavored breadcrumbs. Bake at 350 degrees till browned and crispy on top.
These vegetarian croquettes are delicious, a great suggestion to take advantage of last cauliflowers. Great ^__^ Bye bye, have a good day

ReplyDeleteDear Claudia, I bet that the aroma was just great while these were baking. Sounds great. My son can't eat cauliflower so I might try it with zucchini. Blessings, Catherine xoxo

ReplyDeleteI love this idea. A wonderful masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteI once had cauliflower/mashed potatoes in a restaurant and enjoyed them, but I think I'd like this even better.
ReplyDeleteOh gorgeous! Rocco Di Spirito says replace potatoes with cauliflower - but I don't know - I like your combining them. These have as much allure as any gooey dessert - they just say "treat" with a health quotient!
ReplyDeleteI thought I commented on this earlier today. Not! Had to come back and see it again, 'cause I have half a head of cauliflower and a bag of potatoes I bought today. I am sooooo going to make this.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of such, these sound and look so great... I know they are, were and will be.... these are awesome...
