Fritters, fritters, fritters. I love fritters. Cauliflower Fritters are a great substitute for Potato Fritters. Now I love potatoes and potato fritters. (Mom called ’em potato patties)
There’s a problem with potatoes in my life. I have a blood sugar problem. To keep that from becoming diabetes I have to watch what I eat.
Potatoes are one of those things I have to keep in moderation. They are high in starch, high on the glycemic index and convert to simple sugars quickly.
That’s why I love this recipe. Cauliflower is a good substitute for potatoes. Granted they don’t taste the same but for some reason, it’s a fit.
This recipe is one of my favorite substitutes for my Mom’s potato patties. Cauliflower fritters. Delish. Give the recipe a try!

Cauliflower Fritters are delicious and a really good sub for potatoes!
- 1 egg
- 1/2 C. milk

- 1/4 tsp. ground mustard
- 3/4 C. all purpose flour
- 1 C. finely shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 T. real bacon bits

- In a bowl, whisk together the egg, milk and seasonings. Whisk in the flour, stir in the cheese, cauliflower and bacon bits. Mix together well and place in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Heat about 1/4" of vegetable oil in a skillet over med. high heat. Take the mixture from the fridge and when the oil is heated to 325 degrees, drop by spoonful's into the oil and flatten out a little. Fry, about 4-5 at a time, for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Remove to a paper towel lined plate. I like to serve mine with a dipping sauce made with 2 T. mayo and 1 T. chili sauce. Kiddies like to dip them in ranch dressing.
Enjoy!
