HG Tip: If needed, use a clean dish towel (or paper towels) to firmly press out excess liquid from the cauliflower before mixing up your ingredients.

Air-Fryer Alternative: Set air fryer to 380°F (or the nearest degree). Working in batches so you don’t overcrowd your air fryer, cook tots until golden brown and crispy, 8–10 minutes.
