Bussin’ Cauliflower Ballz

Made some panko cauliflower bites consisting of potato, cheese and bacon. Kid-approved!

I baked one large russet potato and shredded it into a large bowl. Added 2 cups of chopped organic cauliflower florets (minimal stems), 2 Tbsp Calabrian Parmesan, 1 C Mexican Shredded Cheese Blend, 1/2 C Shredded Parmigiano, 2 eggs (so expensive!), 3 Tbsp of Potato Starch and 1 Tbsp fine black pepper.

Molded 12 meatball-sized balls and squeezes out any excess moisture. Then coated in flour, dipped in egg and tossed in panko bread crumbs.

Fried at 400° until too brown.

Went a little overboard with 4x Shepherds (Cottage) Pies. Only finished two so far and need to make more potatoes for the other two.

Not meant to be Irish by any means, with the Parmigian/Panko crust and dark soy sauce mixed into the meat sauce.
