Notes

Tips and Techniques

  • Use fresh cauliflower rice for the best results. You can sometimes find riced cauliflower in the produce section of your local grocery store.
  • Shred the cheese from a block for the best melting and texture. There is added starch in pre-shredded bags of cheese.
  • You can change out the variety of cheese to change the flavor of these hash browns to suit your own tastes.
