Low Sodium Cauliflower Potato Bites Recipe

When thinking of appetizers, cauliflower and potatoes mashed together to make a great combination, while adding a little more nutrition. Your family and friends may figure out that there is something a little different about the potatoes, but only a little different. I went a little further to make it healthy, by cutting down on the sodium. I added a little chevre, some herbs, and bread crumbs.

Bread is one of the worst when it comes to sodium, and regular bread crumbs are really bad. In order to still have a breadcrumb that works, I buy my own low sodium bread (there are a couple of gluten-free rice bread brands that work), and then make my own breadcrumbs. Bake the bread on low until it hardens, and then using a mini-blender or smoothie maker grind the toasted bread into crumbs.

I made the cauliflower-potato bites up early and then refrigerated overnight so that when I dipped it in the egg it would hold shape before dipping it in bread crumbs. By the way – if the bites lose shape – the potato mush is still good tasting. Serve the Cauliflower-Potato Bites with Sour Cream, Applesauce, Yogurt, or Salsa. Or just pop them in your mouth.

Cauliflower and potato smashed together with some chevre and herbs, breaded and pan-fried. A tasty appetizer to serve at any gathering.

NotesFor gluten-free – make your own breadcrumbs using gluten-free bread and omit the flour. It will be a little looser but still, hold together okay.
