3. Transfer florets to a large bowl.
4. Mash florets with a fork or potato masher (doesn't have to be a completely smooth consistancy, I leave in a few clumps of vegetables) Add in eggs, onion, pecans, flour, and salt and pepper to taste; stir to mix well.
5. In an electric skillet, pour oil to a depth of 1/4 inch; heat to 350 degrees.
