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

These crab cakes are a great appetizer or main course. I served them with a side of tartar sauce and they were delicious.

I couldn't find any lump crab meat at the store, so I used flaked crab meat instead. The crab cakes still turned out great.

These crab cakes were a little bland for my taste. I added some extra Old Bay seasoning and they were much better.

I love that these crab cakes are baked instead of fried. It makes them a healthier option.

These crab cakes were a hit at my dinner party! They were so easy to make and tasted just like the real thing. My guests couldn't believe they were made with tofu.
