Cauliflower Fritters

Eeep I'm so excited for this recipe! Let me preface: I'm not the biggest fan of cauliflower. It's kind of weird. But these fritters were so good, I forgot I was eating vegetables until I hit a particularly large chunk of cauliflower since I was very confused about how to even cut a cauliflower. Also, please bear with me, I know the pictures this week are pretty terrible. I pretty much followed the recipe found here, and added about a half cup more cheese to better hide the cauliflower taste.

Cauliflower Fritters

Notes to self:
1. Creating a nice brown crust makes these absolutely delicious
2. Don't store with paper towels - I decided to layer them in a tupperware with paper towels in between the layers to absorb the excess oil, but apparently they weren't completely cooled when I chucked them in the fridge so the paper towels got wet from the steam and held the moisture, making the rest of my fritters extremely soggy :(
3. The best way to reheat these bad boys is in a toaster oven to maximize crustiness and minimize sogginess - believe me, for some reason the soggier the fritter, the more it actually tastes like cauliflower.
4. This is now my absolute favorite way to make cauliflower. I fed a couple to some of my veggie-fearing college friends and they liked them too! Win for me!
