This recipe sounds amazing! Here's how to bring Grandma's cauliflower recipe to life and wow everyone with its deliciousness:
### **Grandma’s Cauliflower & Potato Delight**
#### **Ingredients**:
- 1 cauliflower (cut into florets)
- 1 tsp salt (for boiling cauliflower)
- 1 kg potatoes (peeled and cubed)
- 1 tbsp salt (for boiling potatoes)
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 130 g breadcrumbs (for coating)
- Candied nuts (optional, for extra crunch)
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 100 g cheese (grated, any cheese you prefer)
#### **Instructions**:
1. **Prepare the Vegetables**:
- Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp salt and drop in the cauliflower florets. Cook for about 10 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a separate pot, boil the peeled and cubed potatoes with 1 tbsp salt for about 15 minutes, or until they’re soft enough to mash.
2. **Mash the Potatoes**:
- Once the potatoes are boiled, drain them and mash them well in a large mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
3. **Mix Cauliflower & Potatoes**:
- Gently mash the cooked cauliflower with a fork or potato masher. Combine the mashed cauliflower with the mashed potatoes and mix thoroughly. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
4. **Form the Patties**:
- Beat the two eggs in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
- Take small portions of the cauliflower and potato mixture, form them into small patties or balls, and dip each one into the beaten egg, followed by rolling it in the breadcrumbs until well coated.
5. **Fry the Patties**:
- Heat some oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy.
6. **Add the Cheese**:
- Once the patties are crispy and golden, sprinkle the grated cheese over them. Cover the pan for 1-2 minutes to let the cheese melt and become beautifully gooey.
7. **Optional Crunch**:
- For an extra special touch, chop some candied nuts (like candied pecans or walnuts) and sprinkle them over the top of the patties for a sweet, crunchy contrast. This step is optional but highly recommended for a fun texture!
8. **Serve & Enjoy**:
- Serve these crispy, cheesy patties with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce. Watch everyone’s faces light up as they take their first bite!
