Footnotes

Cook's Note:
Instead of 6 cups of cauliflower, you could substitute 3 cups cauliflower and 3 cups broccoli. Excellent both ways.
Editor's Note:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.

These are sooooooooooo good. I added just a dash of red pepper flakes but otherwise, everything just as the recipe called for. I certainly will make these again. My hubby and I ate the entire batch. We used it as our main dish with a side salad.

These were very yummy but had my whole family's (including the one year old baby who never has a problem with gas) stomachs in knots with gas for over 24 hours after eating them! I followed the recipe exactly, and we have never had a problem with eating cauliflower before, even in large quantities. I do not recommend giving these to small children unless you want to deal with a crying baby with a sore tummy!

Very simple and addictive! I forgot the baking powder and just used some salt, hot sauce and various dried herbs I had on hand for flavour, rather than any kind of premade dressing. It seems like the kind of recipe that it's hard to go wrong with. The texture was very nice too.

Very good! Added 1 cup of mild banana pepper rings to the cauliflower in the food processor and salted after frying. Also added 1 tsp pepper to the mix. Kids ate them up, and it's usually a fight to get the veggies in. Offered them ranch to dip, but they did not use it.

I have used many recipes off this site but this is the first time I have taken the time to comment. This recipes is a keeper. My 3 kids gobbled these up faster than I could make them, I have never went through a cauliflower so fast. Next time I think I will try adding green onion.

Incredible! My 15 month old and husband LOVED these as much as I did. Seriously had to put them away so that we didn't just eat them all! Previous reviews helped me figure out that you indeed start with raw cauliflower. Used seasonings similar to what I'd use for homemade meatballs or salmon patties. Kicked to a "whole 'nother level" when served with banana pepper rings. Thanks for this new addition to our repertoire! (My kiddo usually *does* have trouble with gas and these did not cause any problems for her).

I scaled the recipe down to two servings. I had leftover cooked cauliflower and broccoli mixed with the insides of potatoes (from garden stuffed potatoes, also from this site), so I used that for half of the mixture and raw cauliflower for the rest. Other than using what I had, followed the recipe exact. They turned out delicious! I will be making these again and again!
