This is a reasonable (cost wise), tasty meal using up left over Mashed Potatoes. I like a bit more zip to the crab cakes so I served them with a sweet Chili sauce on the side. I only used 2 tbsp of lite Olive oil on the pan to fry them but if you want a crunchy outside to the patties coat them with Panko or Potato flakes or seasoned bread crumbs and use a bit more oil in the pan. These crab cakes could be made into small balls and served as an appetizer using a hot sauce as a dip. I just threw this recipe together from left overs but decided to post the recipe cause we did enjoy the recipe Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups mashed potatoes |
1 1/2 cups imitation crabmeat, meat. shredded |
1/4 cup onion, minced |
1/4 cup sweet green pepper, minced |
1 jalapeno pepper, minced (use a red or green hot pepper) |
2 garlic cloves, crushed |
1 egg |
1/4 cup flour |
salt & pepper |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (i prefer oliv lite0) |
Directions:
1. In a bowl Mix all the ingredients well.
2. Form into 5 patties, cover & refrigerate for an hour ( allows them to firm up a bit more ).
3. Heat oil in the pan and fry patties over medium heat until golden on each side and heated through apprx 5 minutes each size.
4. Remove from heat n serve having a lovely fresh mixed greens salad as a side dish.
