Instructions

Prepare the Cauliflower: Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice (about 4 cups). If using pre-riced cauliflower, skip this step.
Cook the Cauliflower: Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 5-6 minutes. Alternatively, sauté in a pan for 5-7 minutes until tender and moisture evaporates. Let it cool slightly.
Make the Hash Brown Mixture: Once cool, place cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and wring out excess moisture. In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower with shredded cheese, eggs, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Form the Hash Browns: Shape the mixture into small patties (about 2-3 inches in diameter). You should get 6-8 patties.
Cook the Hash Browns: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if needed.
Drain and Serve: Once cooked, place the hash browns on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
