* I think that 1 teaspoon makes them a little bit too salty. I'd start with 1/2 or 3/4 teaspoon.

This came from a recipe that called for real hash brown potatoes. I substituted shredded cauliflower and cut back a bit on the butter since cauliflower wouldn't absorb as much liquid as potatoes. I think these would be nice for breakfast or a brunch. They remind me of hash brown patties with cheese.
