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.
