Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb lump crabmeat, drained and picked through
1 c mashed potatoes
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 large eggs
2 Tbsp prepared mustard
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. FIrst, adjust your onion content depending on who you are serving. When I serve kids, I tend to reduce it....judge by the consistency of your cakes and diners.

  • 3. Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches into a Dutch oven; heat to 375°. Fry patties for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Drain well.

The crab cakes fell apart when I was cooking them. I think I'll use more bread crumbs next time.

The crab cakes were a bit dry. I think I'll add more mayonnaise next time.

These crab cakes were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less Old Bay seasoning next time.

I've made crab cakes many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The addition of Old Bay seasoning really takes them to the next level.
