*Cauliflower Cheese Fritters*
Serves 4 people, approx 8 fritters

If you like cauliflower cheese you are going to love these fritters!!!  Cauliflower, two types of cheese, spring onion and sprinkled with chopped crispy bacon.  These are just wonderful!

8 ounces of floury potato, peeled and diced (1/2 pound)
8 ounces cauliflower florets (1/2 pound)
2 ounces finely grated parmesan cheese (1/3 cup)
1 ounces grated red leicester cheese (1/4 cup)
1 spring onion, finely chopped
salt and black pepper to taste
1 large egg, plus one egg white
oil for frying
To serve:
crispy cooked bacon, chopped

Place the potatoes in a pan of salted water to cover.  Bring to the boil and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.  Drain well and mash until smooth.  Set aside.

Place the cauliflower in a pan of salted water to cover.  Bring to the boil and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.  Drain well and set aside.

Beat the egg yolk into the mashed potatoe, along with the cheeses and spring onion.  Season with some salt and pepper, remembering that Parmesan is quite salty.  Whisk the egg whites until soft folds form.  Fold them into the mashed potato along with the cauliflower.

Heat some oil in a frying pan over medium high heat.  Once hot, drop the fritter mixture into the hot oil and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until nicely browned on both sides, turning once halfway through the cooking time.  Serve at once, sprinkled with some crispy bacon bits.  Delicious!
