Richa, these look amazing! I so want to make them.
I only have one problem, and that’s that due to type 2 diabetes, I can’t have potato. At all, not even sweet potato.
Sigh.
Can you think of a low carb binder that might stand in for the potatoes?
Thanks a zillion
use more cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini etc. you will need more breadcrumbs as there might be more moisture, you can squeeze the veggies before using, so you need much less of the flour orbreadcrumbs
Awesome, Richa, thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I’ll try it.
Also, I’ll make my own low carb breadcrumbs from one of the two kinds of bread I can eat : )
And maybe use flax seeds to stand in for some of them.
Cheers

Can you use an egg instead of flax egg???
Made this with broccoli instead of cauliflower. I eliminated the oil with no problem. When making the flax egg, I used aquafaba for the liquid instead of water. (I sometimes use ground chia instead of flax — works the same.) I would definitely make again. Quick dipping sauce: stirred some cashew cream into some leftover salsa, and it was awesome, like a creamy chipotle.
awesome! the dip sounds fab!
Is the cauliflower raw or cooked please?
it gets partially cooked at step 3 then mixed with the potato
This looks DELICIOUS! Do you think sweet potatoes would work instead of white?
yes. sweet potatoes have more moisture, so you will want to bake them. For pandfrying you’ll need more breadcrumbs/flour
My kids asked for potato and carrots for dinner tonight and this popped in my inbox… We are doing broccoli instead of cauliflower as that was also requested… Thank you for the inspiration
yes broccoli will work too!
How important is the jalapeño for the taste of this recipe? I don’t like fiery foods, but do like spicy…Just not hot spicy. Sub it or just leave out?
omit it.
Could substitute a little Paprika to taste.
Such a versatile recipe!!! It has so many possibilities…..I, have leftover thanksgiving veggies……guess what I’m gonna do…….Yup! Thanks for your great work. I’m not a vegan, but I love a lot ofvegan foodstuffs – so who knows. ****Sure would make my daughter HAPPY.
yay!
5 stars! Wow! The ease of using mashed potatoes from thanksgiving and the savory, spicy flavor combination made this a winner at my house. Absolutely delicious! Crispy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. I used only mashed potatoes instead of adding cauliflower. The mashed potato recipe came from minimalist baker’s best damn vegan mashed potatoes. I can’t wait to make these again.
awesome! thanks!
