Peel potatoes* and cook in boiling water for 20 minutes; drain and allow to cool for 10 minutes or so. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet until crispy; leave grease in the pan and pull out bacon slices to cool in a medium mixing bowl. Break into little pieces when cool enough to handle. "Rice" the potatoes into the bacon bowl using a hand ricer, or lightly break apart with a fork and knife. Cut cauliflower into florettes and steam for 8-10 minutes or until a little soft. Allow to cool. In a food processor (or blender) pulse the cauliflower to desired consistency; I like when there are still little chunks and florettes visible. Definitely stop pulsing at the pea-size size. Add about 3/4 of the cauliflower to the bacon/potato bowl. Reserve the remaining cauliflower in the processor bowl. Add the 1/2 beaten egg, the cream cheese, parmesan, 1/2 tsp. salt and spices to the remaining cauliflower and pulse until thoroughly blended. Add to the bacon and potato bowl. Toss gently to incorporate together (without mashing all the air out). Form into little patties using cupped hands. These can be covered and refrigerated for up to 8 hours, or frozen. Allow to come to room temperature before frying. Heat the skillet with the bacon grease in it. Mix other half beaten egg with a little milk in a shallow bowl; pour bread crumbs and 1/2 tsp. salt into a second shallow bowl. Set these up near your stove along with the formed patties. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees (optional). Add enough vegetable oil to the bacon grease to get a half inch depth in the skillet, adjust heat to medium high. Using one hand, dip a patty into the egg and flip to cover, then drop into the bread crumbs. Use a fork with the other hand to flip and cover with crumbs. [Keep this hand clean and dry because things will get messy with the flipping]. Use a flat spatula to lift patty and slide into skillet. Continue with all patties until your skillet is full. Keep an eye on them, and flip them over with you star
