Potato Cauliflower Patties Vegan Recipe

These vegan patties combine mashed potatoes with grated cauliflower and carrots, seasoned with herbs like oregano, basil, and chives, plus jalapeño for a mild kick. Flaxseed acts as an egg substitute to bind the mixture, which is coated optionally with breadcrumbs and can be pan-fried or baked for a crispy exterior and tender interior, making a versatile plant-based snack or side.
