Healthy Potato Bites

Not only are these delicious and addictive, but they are also have a hidden ingredient that make them good for you too! This recipe is perfect if your child is a fussy eater (or if you have a husband who is a fussy eater!) They are delicious deep fried or baked and can be frozen for future use.

Ingredients:

• 3 large or 4 medium peeled potatoes
• 1 medium sized head of cauliflower
• 5 Tbl flour
• 5 Tbl breadcrumbs + more for coating
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp salt + other spices to season (I used thyme, oregano and mixed herbs)
• half a cup of grated cheese

Directions:

• Boil the potatoes in salted water for 10 minutes. Place in cold water until they are cool enough to handle and then grate them.
• Steam the cauliflower for 3 minutes, leave to cool then crumble into small pieces.
• Place cauliflower and grated potato onto a dishtowel and place another dishtowel on top, then push down to get as much moisture out as possible.
• Empty into a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients. The mixture should be firm enough to roll into balls.
• Take spoon fulls of mixture and roll into balls then coat in breadcrumbs and set aside.
• Place balls on baking paper and bake at 220⁰ for 15 minutes then flip and bake for another 10 minutes. Alternatively fry in hot oil till golden brown. If you have too many then just freeze them for another day.

If your kids pick up on the cauliflower and complain then just take it out, it will work the same! Else ignorance is bliss and you will feel better knowing they are getting a good dose of veggies.

Keep it cooking,
