Cauliflower-Potato Latkes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup cauliflower floret
1 1/2 cups mashed potatoes
3 tablespoons matzo meal
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons dried kasha (optional)
4 -6 tablespoons butter

Preparation

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook cauliflower until it is very soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
In a mixing bowl, mash cauliflower to small bits with a fork. Add mashed potatoes, matzoh meal, garlic, salt, pepper, and egg. Blend thoroughly.
Shape into 12 patties 3 inches in diameter and about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle with kasha, pressing into both sides.
Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry latkes in batches, adding more butter as necessary, until they are browned and crust is crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
