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

Method

  • 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.
