    Thanks so much for this! I added 1/2 cup of finely crumbled feta, and 1/2 tsp of cumin (turmeric). Put the mashed mixture evenly into a frying pan. Cooked it on med heat 10 mins, then put the frying pan in the oven on broil for 10 mins (until the top is crispy). An AWESOME frittata!!!!! - 12/8/09

    I used a whole head of cauliflower, and added 3/4cup of flour which made them stick together in perfect patties! Absolutely delicious!!!! I also added some turmeric :) - 9/19/10

    Really tasty, but you need to squeeze out some moisture when you're forming the patties, otherwise they fall apart. Once I made them a little thicker and squeezed out the excess moisture, they held together perfectly. - 12/19/14

    I made these tonight as my first attempt at ever trying cauliflower. I added yellow pepper, red onion and 1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs. they stuck together just enough and I got 9 patties. My recipe on MyFitnessPal showed only 37 cals each! Next time I need to cut back on the cilantro tho. Yum! - 3/28/14

    Well as a NON-FAN of cauliflower I will say these were tasty. I would do again for sure but not as 'fritters'. I found them hard to form into patties and they fell apart. What I'm thinking is maybe just bake as a casserole. I'll re-post when I do. All in all these got me to eat more veggies! - 10/7/09

    very good recipe, but, your nutrition values are wrong. The cholesterol value for 8 servings should be about 24 mg not 114.5. One egg has 187 mg divided by 8 =23 add 2 tbsp of parmesan cheese -8 mg divided by 8 = 1 mg for a total of 24 mg of cholesterol. Nothing else in the recipe contains any. - 5/13/16

    I used this as the basis for a 'whatever's in the fridge' version. Cooked cauliflower and corn, then mashed well and added chopped green pepper, garlic, onion, basil, chilli flakes, egg and mature cheddar. Amazeballs!! - 12/16/14

    If the serving is ONE fritter out of the 8 you get making the recipe here....how do you get 45 calories for the egg in ONE fritter? If you only use 1 egg in the whole recipe for 8 fritters....and one large egg is 80 calories....then to me 80 divided by 8 is TEN ( 10 ) NOT 45! What gives? - 12/16/18

    HATE this recipe. The picture is deceiving! I followed this recipe TWICE because the first time they all fell apart. 2nd time, same thing. Was more like cauliflower hash. - 3/13/16

    The recipe shows 1 egg, but the nutrition is based on a cup of eggs. That greatly inflates the cholesterol in the recipe as well as the calories and protein. - 1/29/21

    This review has nothing to do with how the food was. Latkes are made of potatoes. I can't imagine any Jew including myself who decides to make these for Hannukah. Just call them pancakes. Leave the Yiddish to the gefilte fish. JMO - 12/16/20

    I don't think the calorie breakdown per latke is correct. It reads 45 cal for the egg in 1 latke. But if you only use 1 egg for all 8 latkes, then the egg cal per latke should be 1/8 of 45, like 5 egg cal per latke. - 12/16/19

    Please note! Cumin is the ground dried seed of the cumin plant which is a member of the parsley family. Ground, dried turmeric comes from the ginger family. So they are very different and they have VERY different flavors. Despite the similarity in names, curcumin doesn't come from cumin. - 12/17/17

    I fixed the cauliflower fritters tonight for Supper. They were okay but I don't think I will fix again.
    I found they didn't stick together very well and they didn't have much taste.

    While the flavor is solid, to call this fritters is absurd. It's tasty mashed cauliflower. Eggs do not act as a binder. There is no way to keep them together. - 12/12/17

    Leave out that horrible cilantro!!! You can add almond flour or Flaxmeal to it, so it sticks together better, if you are afraid to add flour. - 12/16/16

    I use curry powder instead of cilantro. After squeezing out the cauliflower I added about 1/4 C Almond flour which kept them pretty low carb as well as holding them together. Very good side. May try with ham & cheese as a full meal as D_U_C_K_Y suggested. - 12/16/16

    I found these to be very tasty ...... I have added curry powder and fine chopped mushrooms ; panko ..... not all at once ! And the use of a measuring cup (1/2 - 1/3 ) works wonderful ( no mess ) I think a mix of broccoli and cauliflower would be tasty to !!! - 9/30/16
